ARCHITORTURE

Architorture is a documentary that captures five diverse students in a single studio at one university throughout the entirety of their thesis project. The film will convey a mere sliver of time, wholly representative of the experience to create a student’s paramount work. The footage will illustrate the range of emotions and process of this extremely intense period at the conclusion of an academic career. It is our goal for the documentary to possess educational, entertaining, realistic and inspiring qualities in response to the dynamic world these students cross.

JUST IN: Architorture has changed their name to Archiculture.

They are just starting with production, but have lots of confessionals up on their old site: http://www.architorturefilm.com/films.htm
And then they have a lot more information on their new site - along with some new videos: http://www.archiculturefilm.com/

I am really interested in this film and cannot wait to see more! And considering last night’s lecture from the VP of Autodesk… I find this all quite fitting…

Director’s Statement: The profession of architecture deals with the design of spaces for people. As an architect you study how people interact and respond to space in order to provide a better understanding of the spaces you yourself create. Archiculture is a documentation of this study which happens to capture Architecture students and their interactions with one another within the studio environment.

This video is quite familiar:

artists or providers of a service? “i don’t know really know exactly what I’m doing with my life and I’m hoping to find that out by starting graduate school…”  yeah, I hear you girl.
