Architecton

In a poetic meditation on architecture and its impact on our world, director Viktor Kossakovsky explores how the design and construction of buildings reveal our destruction – and offer hope for survival and a way forward. He reflects on the rise and fall of civilizations through the lens of Italian architect Michele De Lucchi's landscape project, set against the backdrop of ancient temple ruins and modern-day destruction, including the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Turkey that struck early 2023. With stunning drone photography, Architecton presents a powerful examination of our relationship with the material world, and what it says about us as a society.
