Sixteen different films are on the program for this year’s (November 19-December 3) virtual Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF). An in-depth look at the lives and works of such talents as Charlotte Perriand and George Nakashima is reason alone to watch, but considerations of urgent issues like racial injustice and urbanization educate as much as engage. Hollywood’s Architect: The Paul R. Williams Story, about the pioneering Black architect who despite a backdrop of entrenched racism became highly sought by L.A. celebrities, should be mandatory viewing.
This fall, the Architectural League of New York is shifting its monthly First Friday series to Thursdays. Kicking off the new day (November 5)—and virtual format—are Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello, founders of the social and sustainable-minded Oakland practice Rael San Fratello and 3D printing make-tank, Emerging Objects, who will delve into their project MUD Frontiers/Casa Covida, an earthen structure.
