Plot Synopsis

10 THAT CHANGED AMERICA is a one-hour docuseries that chronicles how the United States was shaped by ten landmark locations, with each episode focusing on a different type of locale: homes, parks, and towns. Featuring interviews with architecture critic Paul Goldberger, historian Peter Onuf, and others, 10 HOMES THAT CHANGED AMERICA highlights ten homes that transformed residential living, from grand estates such as Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, to the pueblos of Taos, New Mexico, and the tenements of 19th century New York. 10 PARKS THAT CHANGED AMERICA tells the story of ten innovators who took open canvases of land and transformed them into serene spaces that offer city dwellers a respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life, and 10 TOWNS THAT CHANGED AMERICA takes a look at ten experimental towns that did not evolve organically over time, but instead were designed (or redesigned) from the ground up by architects, corporations, and citizens who sought to change the lives of residents using architecture, design, and urban planning.
