The design for the ANIMA Cultural Center in Grottammare (Ascoli Piceno, Italy), Bernard Tschumi’s first project in Italy, is explored in a playful and abstract way in this short video by Luis Urculo. The Spanish artist narrates, through original visual metaphors, the marked cultural identity and the spatial solutions of the project, as well as the architect’s research on the theme of façades. We entrusted Luis Urculo in the early phases of the project to introduce it to both local audiences and professional interlocutors.

Inaugurated in September 2018, the new Baiona Public Library has quickly become a work of architecture known and appreciated by critics. Its opening to the public confirmed    qualities of Murado & Elvira Architects’ project, in particular the delicate and at the same time brilliant relationship with the historical fabric. The short film by Imagen Subliminal (Miguel de Guzman + Rocio Romero), in addition to their photos, supported an effective international press launch of the project.

One of the projects we launched and promoted in the course of the last years, the widely acclaimed Sala Beckett by Flores & Prats, was introduced by a variety of media. Among them, the “Escala 1:5” documentary series produced by 15L Films describes the creative process behind the work of renovation of what was once a workers’ club in Poblenou, Barcelona. Starring architects Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats, and with special contributions by Curro Claret, Antoni Miralda, Soraya Smithson, Sergi Belbel and Toni Casares, the series is now offered as VOD by The Architecture Player.

“Hic Sunt Leones” is a surprising film directed by Jordi Bernardó, where a new work of architecture is both the object of uncommon observations and the source for deep and profound narratives about space. This fiction, produced by 15L Films and set in the new Mas d’Enric Penitentiary designed by AiB arquitectes and Estudi PSP Arquitectura, complemented a series of artistic interpretations of the building collected in the book “CRITICAL PRISON DESIGN” (Actar, 2014) authored by architect Roger Paez (principal at AiB arquitectes).

Taking place during a day of harvest, “Rustico” short film directed by Federica Biondi is a refined and poetic story, told through images, about Border Crossing House: the private residence designed by Simone Subissati Architects and built near Ancona, Italy, on the ridge of a hill, between the city and the countryside. The short film, that further amplified expanded our announcement of the project, is an opportunity to explore and decline some of the themes that have guided Subissati in his project.

Our friends at Mork-Ulnes Architects, who in the past years have been widely appreciated for their design approach - playful and restrained at the same time-, decided to collaborate with architect and film director Juan Benavides (Filmatica) to offer a special interpretation of their family cabin, nestled in a grove of trees on top of a mountain in Kvitfjell, Norway. The short film story about Skygard Hytte celebrates the environmental qualities of a minimalist space that makes the outdoors the focus.

With the short film “SUPERFICIE TESSUTO CORPO,” directed by Daniela De Francesco, produced by The Piranesi Experience, and distributed in collaboration with The Architecture Player, we enriched the international press launch of the Powerbarn project (2019) by Giovanni Vaccarini Architetti. The short film premiered on designboom and was then published on other major architecture and design platforms. Now it is also available on Prime Video by Amazon (US marketplace).
