Symposium
Architectures in Motion
This year’s symposium explores the filmic documentation of architectures and cities. The focus is on unconventional approaches and long-term observations that are rarely traced or shown in Germany. The conference approaches numerous issues, including: which insights are gained through documentary forms in the design process and the subsequent use of architecture? How transparent are the interactions between the participants? To what extent can the construction process be reproduced via the medium of film? What is a personal film about architecture? How can film serve as a source of inspiration for architects?
Date Friday, September 11, 2015, 13:30-18:30 (film programme with guests 19:30-23:00)
Location Zeughauskino, Deutsches Historisches Museum, Unter den Linden 2, 10117 Berlin
