=====================
Schoolgirl Jenna interviews architect Arthur Timothy at Hay's Galleria in London - a building he designed. We hear how his combined love of art and history led him to become an architect. We see an animated timeline of the history of architecture, including Christopher Wren and the redesign of London after the Great Fire of 1666. We also hear how architect I.M. Pei was commissioned to rebuild the grand entrance to the Louvre in Paris – and chose to create an enormous glass pyramid.

This clip is from the BBC series Proud To Be; a collection of films where children find out how various jobs have developed over the centuries by meeting people who do them today.
