Architecture Movie Night

The first Architecture Movie Night will feature a wide-ranging selection of film clips and digital shorts curated and introduced by guest hosts from the local architecture and design community, followed by lively conversation. Meditating on the cozy, the confrontational, and the complex, "Going Inside" asks, how does the moving image frame our relationships to interior and domestic space? What does film tell us about the spaces we inhabit and the spaces we might inhabit? Where does reflection become projection?

Hosts:

Justin Fowler (University of Oregon)

Ali Gens (Hacker Architects)

Alexis Coir (Waechter Architecture)

Blair Cranston (LEVER Architecture)
