New Documentary Focuses On Environmentally Sensitive Design

摘要

Sustainable architecture will soon be hitting the silver screen. last Call for Planet Earth, a documentary that explores the environmental effects of building, will premiere on Ian. 31 in Brussels at the European Commission's Berlaymont Building. Conceived by Belgium-based filmmaker Jacques Allard, the movie features interviews with 12 leading architects around the world, including Thorn Mayne, Kengo Kuma, Massimiliano Fuksas, and Christoph Ingenhoven. Allard, who is not an architect, filmed over 38 hours of interviews in 12 different locations. "My father was an architect, so I've loved architecture my whole life," he says. "In the film, I let the architects speak for themselves-each of them has charisma and a new way of thinking about sustainability, so there is no voice-over done by a narrator."
