April on Shelter
30 March 2023
April on Shelter – Shelter highlights for the month of April include The Proposal, New Directions, Softness: Designing a City and Mies Van Der Rohe: The Houses of Lange & Esters. Join an artist’s quest to democratise and share the work of a Pritzker Prize winning architect; examine how post-war Japanese architecture was brought to the West; discover the “softness” movement seeking to sustainably revolutionise urban design; and see the earliest moves into modernity in Bauhaus-Germany this April on SHELTER. ACCESS TO ARCHITECTURE: THE PROPOSAL – AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE Known as “the artist among architects”, Pritzker Prize-winning Mexican architect Luis Barragán is among the world’s most celebrated architects of the 20th century. Upon his death in 1988, much of his work was locked away in a Swiss bunker, hidden from the world’s view, aggressively “protected” and kept from the public by its copyright holders. In an attempt to resurrect Barragán’s life and art, boundary redefining artist Jill Magid creates a daring proposition that becomes a fascinating artwork in itself – a high-wire act of negotiation that explores how far an artist will go to democratise access to art. By cultivating relationships with Barragán’s family, admirers, institutions, and the rights holders – including extensive correspondence with the director of the Barragan Foundation – Magid consequently constructs a thoughtful love story between the director, herself, and the architect. THE PROPOSAL is a startling, provocative work that forces the viewer into reckoning with how an artist’s story is told; and who is permitted to do the telling. THE PROPOSAL (83 mins) USA 2019 (Available 3 April) EASTERN INNOVATION: NEW DIRECTIONS During his numerous visits to Japan in the 1950s, renowned Australian architect Robin Boyd became fascinated with post-war Japanese architecture.Convinced he had seen the architecture of the future from architects such as Kenzo Tange, Boyd became determined to introduce and implement these learnings to the West, via his essays and books. NEW DIRECTIONS charts the influence of Boyd’s discoveries; and how it would inspire a number of younger Australian architects through the 1960s and 70s to incorporate aspects of Japanese Modernism into their subsequent work. NEW DIRECTIONS (38 mins) Australia 2016 (Available 10 April) SOFTNESS: DESIGNING A CITY When designing a city, softness is rarely the first theme in people’s thoughts. Yet for Italian company i-Mesh, a focus on soft architecture is a forward-thinking strategy to combat the future challenges of urban spaces in a post-pandemic world; and to redesign cities with a focus on quality of life and environmental protection. SOFTNESS explores the unique i-Mesh material and technology, which is seeking to revolutionise architectural design with its lightness, transparency, resistance, flexibility, and sustainability. Through the use of “soft” materials, designers are looking to respond to the continuous needs of transforming spaces using adaptive, temporary, transportable systems while contrasting the effects of urban heat. Featuring discussions with architects, designers, and philosophers such as Kengo Kuma, Gabriele Mastrigli, Ico Migliore, Werner Sobek, Benedetta Tagliabue, Edoardo Tresoldi; who pose radical questions about the meaning of design and living today, this documentary investigates a new model and a new way of looking at the culture of design. “Soft is a vision of the world, a light and circular gaze, impermanent, gentle, systemic.” “Softness is an interweaving of stories and threads.” SOFTNESS: DESIGNING A CITY (42 mins) Italy 2022 (Available 17 April) MIES VAN DER ROHE: THE HOUSES OF LANGE & ESTERS In 1920s Germany textile industry magnate Hermann Lange commissioned avant-garde architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe to design two revolutionary residential villas on the outskirts of Krefeld. Open buildings, with glass facades and floating spaces inside, these two villas marked a key point in the modernist architecture movement. However, not all of Mies van der Rohe’s cutting-edge ideas were accepted by the client, and compromises would have to be made. Today, both of the houses are now world-renowned museums; where art meets architecture. Through interviews with Lange’s great-granddaughter and the director of Art Museums in Krefeld, this short documentary unpacks these two houses that began the open concept style of living. “These are the most important buildings between tradition and modernity that have been created in this period.” HOUSES LANGE ESTERS BY MIES VAN DER ROHE (26 mins) Germany 2010 (Available 24 April) More TV Central Shelter content HERE About Shelter Shelter is a premium streaming service bringing you the world’s finest films about architecture & design.

From the creator of Peaky Blinders, and based on Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book, Rogue Heroes is a dramatised account of how the world’s greatest Special Forces unit, the SAS, was formed under extraordinary circumstances in the darkest days of WWII. Connor Swindells (Sex Education, Vigil), Jack O’Connell (Skins, The North Water) and Alfie Allen (Jojo Rabbit, Game of Thrones) lead an ensemble cast with Dominic West (The Wire, Appropriate Adult) and Sofia Boutella (Modern Love, Atomic Blonde). The series follows a crew of renegade men who are a self-proclaimed band of oddities, gentlemen, and pirates who rail against the status quo of service to do things a little differently. Set in Cairo, 1941. David Stirling (Swindells) is an eccentric young officer, bored and frustrated with the failings and shortcomings of the military authorities and their handling of the current war strategy. Convinced that traditional commando units don’t work, a view shared by another young officer, the inventive and disciplined Jock Lewes (Allen), the pair create a radical plan that flies in the face of all accepted rules of modern warfare and try to convince their friend, firebrand and poet, Robert Blair ‘Paddy’ Mayne (O’Connell) to join their mission. Stirling fights for permission to recruit soldiers for a small undercover unit that will create mayhem behind enemy lines. Men of a certain sort. The sweepings of public schools and military prisons, men who do not obey. Men who only need one order. ‘Go. Kill. Return. Go again’. More rebels than soldiers, Stirling’s team are every bit as complicated, flawed, and reckless as they are astonishingly brave and heroic. With the assistance of Lieutenant Colonel Dudley Wrangel Clarke (West), a master of strategic deception in British secret intelligence in the Middle East, Stirling’s unit gains an identity and a name, the Special Air Service (SAS), but then it’s up to Stirling and his men to prove their strategy of parachuting into the desert and attacking and neutralising enemy airbases under cover of darkness will work.

April on iwonder – iwonder highlights for the month of April include The Longest Day, Planet Re:Think, The Disappearing Delta, Earth in 1,000 Years, Tipping Point: Climate Countdown, The Carbon Conundrum, Smoke & Fumes: The Climate Change Cover-Up and USA: Climate Wars. In recognition of the world’s largest environmental movement, this April iwonder turns its attention to Earth Day, with a collection of new feature films and series looking at the day-to-day impact felt by struggling communities around the world dealing with climate change up close, as well as the issues and ignorance that continue to threaten the future habitability of the planet. In The Longest Day, we spend 24 hours with people in some of the most adversely affected areas of the world struggling to adapt to the rapidly changing environments. Planet Re:Think draws the dots between people at the coalface of climate change and those with the power over policy to address it, while The Disappearing Delta paints an alarming picture of the future of coastlines around the world if the pattern being seen in the Louisiana Wetlands isn’t acted upon. In this April’s iwonder What Top Five, we take a stroll through climate change theory, policy, politics, projections, and destructive denial, taking a look at where we’ve come from, where we now stand, and where we might end up if climate change rages on unchecked. The Longest Day: On the Climate Crisis Frontline #Real Life #Up Close #Survival Launches April 20th Climate change is more than a set of abstract projections and statistics; it’s the daily reality for millions of people across the world, living on the frontlines of the climate crisis. In this award-winning series, we follow people confronting climate challenges in their daily lives over 24 hours. We witness farmers and urban dwellers struggling with water shortage in the Mekong Delta and Jakarta; coastal communities in Indonesia’s Sumba Island and the Sundarbans facing rapidly rising sea levels; farmers in Vietnam looking for solutions to unprecedented long droughts; and families struggling with extreme heatwaves in Delhi’s slums. The Longest Day is a snapshot of the climate crisis in action, told through the voices of farmers, health workers, city residents and displaced families. By emphasising on-the-ground responses to complex challenges, the series offers an empowering and relatable portrait of diverse and resilient responses to the biggest challenge of our time. Planet Re:Think #Economics #Environment #Thought-provoking Launches April 18th Real-world examples of humankind’s small but widescale impact around the world, and their environmental impacts, help to illustrate the often overlooked link between economics and environmentalism explored in Planet Re:Think. Presenting a compelling, inherent link between environmental destruction and the global financial crisis, the documentary asserts that the only way out of economic crisis and into ongoing stability, is through the practice of environmental sustainability. Leading world experts discuss the facts and theories interposed with stunning visuals captured around the globe, in this Moondance International Film Festival’s Best Feature Documentary winner. The Disappearing Delta #Coastlines #Sea Levels #Foreboding Launches April 20th The erosion of Louisiana’s wetlands is one of the greatest environmental threats the US faces today. In terms of sea-level rise, it is the canary in the coal mine for what is likely to happen across the coastal systems of the world if we remain complacent. This award-winning film chronicles the lives of individuals who are experiencing that loss in the deepest parts of the Mississippi Delta. iwonder when April 22nd, 3023 ‘Earth in 1,000 Years’, now streaming on iwonder Featured as part of iwonder’s climate change collection this April, Earth in 1,000 Years delves deep into our past to suggest what the planet might look like ten centuries from now if ice stores continue to disappear at their current rate. In such an uncertain future, what kind of campaigns might the organisers and supporters of Earth Day be creating and supporting? And looking back 1,000 years to 2023’s theme of ‘Invest in Our Planet’, how will the inhabitants of that future world judge the governments, institutions, businesses and citizens in their efforts to do their part for the sake of the planet? Click here to watch Earth in 1,000 Years, and here to learn more about Earth Day 2023. iwonder who Gaylord Nelson In January 1969, Senator Gaylord Nelson, inspired by the student anti-war movement, announced the idea for a teach-in on college campuses. He recruited Denis Hayes, a young activist, to organise the campus teach-ins and chose April 22, a weekday falling between Spring Break and Final Exams, to maximize the greatest student participation. The effort soon broadened to include a wide range of organisations, faith groups, and others. They changed the name to Earth Day, which immediately sparked national media attention, and caught on across the country. Earth Day inspired 20 million Americans to take to the streets and achieved a rare political alignment, enlisting support from Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, urban dwellers and farmers, business and labour leaders. By the end of 1970, the first Earth Day had led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Click here to read more about the history of Earth Day iwonder what Climate change crossroads In this April’s iwonder Top Five, we take a look at the evidence supporting climate change, and how science alone won’t be enough to save us if bad actors and enduring ignorance continue to undermine humankind’s ability to bring our home back from the brink. 1) Tipping Point: Climate Countdown #Climate #Energy #Survival Launches April 22nd We have arrived at a decisive moment in history. We are at a precarious tipping point where climate change could decimate the world’s water, food and energy.

Now, citizens and states seek to tip the scales back in Earth’s favour, as cities switch to carbon free power sources, and a global

March on Shelter
9 March 2023
Shelter highlights for the month of March include Regular or Super, The Burke Museum, Melbourne International and Mario Botta: The Sacred and Profane. Discover the minimalist ethos behind some of North America’s most striking urban landmarks; watch a museum strip back its walls and reveal its treasures to the public; venture back in time into the urbanist shift that defined Melbourne’s skyline; and investigate the oppositional concepts central to the work of an iconic Swiss architect this March on SHELTER. MIES VAN DER ROHE: REGULAR OR SUPER Famous for designing such landmarks as New York’s Seagram Building, Toronto’s Dominion Centre and numerous buildings in Chicago, Mies van der Rohe was best known for his minimalist designs. An obsession with purity & simplicity and an adherence to his belief that “less is more” influenced the way he combined form & function; creating a connection to the outdoors and architecture that is less removed from life and more reflective of how we actually live. With a jazz-infused soundtrack, inspired cinematography and commentary from Stanley Tigerman, Rem Koolhaus and Phyllis Lambert; REGULAR OR SUPER brings van der Rohe’s work to life in a documentary that captures the spirit of the man and his brilliant contributions to 20th-century architecture. DESIGN VS BUILD: THE BURKE MUSEUM The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture is the oldest public museum in Washington State, tracing its roots back to 1879, and housing a collection of over 18 million artifacts and specimens; ranging from totem poles and gemstones to dinosaur fossils. Yet most visitors never got to experience any of these treasures of the past, which remained hidden behind concrete walls and inside research labs. When the Burke was granted major funding in 2015 for a new building, a bold new idea was presented by Architect Olson Kundig: what if the museum was turned “inside out”? The final result sought to create a one-of-a-kind museum experience, where guests could look into working research areas and laboratories. But getting there wouldn’t be easy; requiring a delicate transfer of the museum’s millions of unique and treasured items from the old building to the new. RESIDENT URBANISM: MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL Known for its iconic and striking skyline; the city of Melbourne needed a drastic design shift in the mid-20th century to become what it is today. Exploring from 1950 to 1980, this feature-length documentary film charts the development of the International Style of corporate architecture and the rise of the glass box, curtained-wall style office building, that would shape the look and feel of Melbourne’s urban centre. MARIO BOTTA: THE SACRED AND PROFANE Renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta retraces some of the most significant steps of his career, exploring the inner questions that pushed him to investigate the spaces of the sacred and the profane; two coexisting but oppositional concepts that are integral to his work. MARIO BOTTA: THE SACRED AND PROFANE delves into the architect’s worldwide projects and his founding of the Accademia di Architettura and the Teatro dell’Architettura, before diving into his exhibit for the MAXXI Museum in Rome; an installation composed of heterogeneous and highly expressive materials, including a 1:1 scale pavilion and a facade prototype; models; sketches and photographs of his built projects. Botta’s reflection is explored, complimented and challenged by fellow critics and colleagues Enzo Cucchi, Margherita Guccione, Fulvio Irace, Vittorio Sgarbi and Giuliano Vangi.
