Archiculture

'Archiculture' is the evolution of a documentary film originally entitled 'Architorture' that "explores the role that architecture and design play in our daily lives. The film follows five architecture students through their final senior design projects in order to shed light on the critical issues impacting our built environment." The work was initially titled 'Architorture' because of the intense reality of studio work.

For anyone who has worked in a studio of any sort (photographic, print, etc..), then one knows the type of intense studio-oriented culture that develops and in many cases, consumes. People eat, work and even sleep in studios - the outside world is removed. It can become an insular, isolated world of seclusion.

It doesn't look like this documentary will be in wide release but will most likely be distributed through architectural organizations, academic tours and online simulcasts in the upcoming year.

*Interesting fact: where in almost all other fields women are achieving proportional representation, only about 13% of architects are women.
