Film portraits
Series: Arch-Lab (1–5)

Any city or environment makes specific demands on a building and its planners. We will be presenting one building in each of our 30 film portraits and hearing from its architects. The first five films in the series can be seen here. A further five blocks will be shown at five-week intervals, each of them containing five portraits. Overall, the roughly three-minute clips offer a multifaceted view of contemporary international architecture.
