Seeing is Believing

Isn’t it difficult to visualise something on such a huge scale when you can’t even see it? Water, electricity, natural gas, these are just some of the resources we hear about so often. We love this idea of bringing the issue into visual / tangible form. And if you are going to expose something, why not do it in a beautiful expressive way.
Even when recycling seemed like a far fetched idea and no one really thought 1 can or 1 piece of paper would make a difference. Here we are years later and recycling is “arguably” common practice. Lets hope that more design will lead to positive inventions like this.
Infinite Space - Architecture of John Lautner
What is so wonderful about the film, “INFINITE SPACE”, in celebration of specifically John Lautner’s architecture, is the appreciation for silence. In so many cases the complexity of architecture requires that, art like, attention where the viewer is asked to observe critically. Only in this moment is architecture achieved it’s true palpable vision.
What is special about so many of the documented site’s are their public recognition. Modernism and architecture in general continues to play an instrumental role in the movie business and Lautner’s architecture is no exception.
