Description
Can we learn something from the housing experiments of 50 years ago? Elodie Degavre visits four adventurous Belgian elderly architects: Simone and Lucien Kroll, Jean Englebert, and Paul Petit. They realized experimental residential communities that stirred things up in the conservative architecture world. They also dealt with prefabrication. The documentary is a silent call for more adventure and experimentation in architecture. An inspiring film that encourages breaking open the stagnant construction world in our time. Elodie Degrave will be present for a Q&A after the screening of her film 'Life, Assembled'.
