2019 Architecture & the City Festival | SF
The 16th annual month-long celebration features behind the scenes and walking tours, films, exhibitions, lectures and more that address varying aspects of the design and planning process.
This years festival theme, “We the City”, aims to explore how cultural diversity and connectivity inspire and inform the built environment. From the Dogpatch to the Outer Sunset — San Francisco is a unique, diverse, and multi-generational mosaic.
A monumental structure in Rio de Janeiro is a metaphor for the promise and shortcomings of utopian modernism. One half of the building hosts an important hospital, while the other half crumbles as a derelict ruin. Through a series of split screens, Hu Enigma juxtaposes the bustling labor and lifeless neglect that coexist within the symmetrical halves of this perplexing building. Complementing the striking visual narrative, the film follows stories of patients and doctors who inhabit the building.
