The Novgorod Spaceship
Directed by Andrei Rozen
2015/ 46 min / USA / US Premiere
 
Like an abandoned alien spaceship, the building of Dostoevsky's Drama Theater stands on the bank of the Volkhov River, only a kilometer away from the walls of famous Novgorod Kremlin. An architecture freak, unloved and uncared for, it sails high above the comforting provinciality of Novgorod the Great. Erected during the final years of Soviet rule, this remarkable example of modernist architecture has, for many decades, continued to mock the ancient heritage of the city, as well as the mediocre tastes of its populace.
The story of the theater's uneasy survival, its persistent inability to fit into the Novgorod's surroundings, and its slow but sure demise at the hands of greedy bureaucrats is a metaphor for Russian society today.

Big cities need small apartments. Carmel Place is a pilot project initiated by NYC to come up with a prototype of a feasible micro-unit building. The film exposes the different construction phases of the highest modular building in Manhattan and the challenges the designers from nARCHITECTS faced. Will Carmel Place lead the way to the future of residential developments?

This short film is about noted Architect Shigeru Ban’s design for The Aspen Art Museum (AAM) in Aspen, Colorado. Through cinematic time-lapse and motion sequences, the film explores the museum’s architectural design and built environment and features interviews with Pritzker Prize Laureate Shigeru Ban, and the museum’s CEO and Director, Heidi Zuckerman.
The AAM is the first U.S. museum project by the noted architectural firm of Shigeru Ban Architects (SBA). Ban’s vision for the new AAM is based on transparency and open viewing planes. The design invites those outside to engage with the museum’s interior and provides those inside the opportunity to interact with the building’s exterior surroundings.
