Ep.22 - Architecton: against the architecture of concrete
Listen now
Description
Architecton is a documentary by Russian director Kossakovsky, presented at the latest edition of the International Berlin Film Festival. The film is a strong critique against construction in concrete – a material which tragically represents our modern day: short-lived, perishable, polluting and unsustainable. Architecton invites us to find another way, to push back against the pervasive rhetoric of greenwashing, to embrace the reasons of true ecology, to use durable and sustainable materials, to point on circularity, to redefine the relationship between man and nature.
