How are you supposed to explain a baroque building, the Parthenon or Mies van der Rohe to children if there is no context? Therefore, this time SABA heroine Maria undertakes a journey through the history of architecture, from the chilly beginnings in dark caves to the skyscrapers of New York, into classical modernism and into contemporary architecture. With her guide, the enigmatic Archibald Geist, she experiences architecture as an adventure across time. And it's not just about having a roof over your head, but also urban planning, images of people and society, technical progress, the role of the architect and his clients, the joy of geometry, columns and caryatids and the question of why less can sometimes be more - or not. An exciting architectural trip through history.
