Production
The series was produced with the Open University and a Royal Institute of British Architects exhibition (which also included Lady Patty Hopkins). The exhibition was open between 13 February and 27 May 2014.
Controversy
The series was the subject of controversy when the BBC were accused of removing Patty Hopkins from a photograph of the architects, used to illustrate the third programme of the series. Patty Hopkins had been a full partner in the Hopkins company from the outset. The BBC were accused of ignoring women architects, though the BBC responded by saying that at the start of making the series, the director met with both Michael and Patricia Hopkins to discuss their involvement in the series.
