“We live in an era of cement, concrete, and sugar—inside our bodies, sugar is killing us in the same way modern architecture is destroying our cities. These substances come fast and cheap, but we don’t see the big picture. For thousands of years, people knew the value of the things they made—they cut one big stone and knew it would remain forever. But today’s architects cannot imagine the future. They don’t know what to build in the centre of a city because the world is changing so fast. We don’t know what kind of buildings we’ll need in 20 years, so there is no vision.” (Victor Kossakovsky)
Architecton Architecton
An epic, intimate and poetic meditation on architecture and how the design and construction of buildings from the ancient past reveal our destruction — and offer hope for survival and a way forward. Centring on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, Kossakovsky uses the circle to reflect on the rise and fall of civilizations.
