Archizoom Galery, SG building, EPFL
We owe the city of today largely to four outstanding architects who shared the ‘dream’ of a resolutely human and inclusive city. Phyllis Lambert, Blanche Lemco van Ginkel, Denise Scott Brown and Cornelia Hahn Oberlander have left visible traces of their pioneering work in several cities in Europe and America. For decades they observed and shaped the city with decisive perseverance, freedom of thought and visionary spirit.
A must-see documentary to understand contemporary urban dynamics and to regain hope in the perpetual metamorphosis of our cities.
