In the context of this year's Architecture and the City Festival (9/1-30/2016) and its theme "Resilient City: Strength by Design" , the Festival shows films that explore the ways in which design collaboration and community participation contribute to the resiliency of our built environment.
 
"Concrete Love: The Böhm Family" is about the Pritzer Prize-winning architect Gottfried Böhm who learned his trade from his father. At the age of 94, Gottfried still works every day, with his wife, Elisabeth, who was an architect, and his sons Stephan, Peter and Paul, who are also architects. Intimate yet epic in its illustration of a design-oriented family, Concrete Love is unique in its depiction of the family’s commitment to public projects, the resiliency of their designs, and their faith in the lasting power of architecture.
