We found a new way of spending our time productively in isolation: let’s watch the documentaries we have been postponing for months… Creative minds need inspiration during the quarantine, too: maybe this is when their greatest idea ever will conceive in their minds.
ABSTRACT – The Art of Design (2019)
The two-season series of Netflix titled Abstract is slowly becoming classic: each episode introduces creatives of different professions. If you ask us, one of the favorites of the first season was architect Bjarke Ingels, and polyhistor Neri Oxman in the second, but there are many other legends amongst those featured.
Available on Netflix
Architecture of Infinity (2018)
A poetic-toned movie about infinity and about how the different branches of art think about it. In the film directed by Zürich-based director Cristoph Schaub, architecture is represented by Peter Zumthor, Peter Märkli and Álvaro Siza Vieira, music by Jojo Mayer, and visual arts by James Turrell and Cristina Iglesias.
