FILM NIGHTS 101: COAST MODERN
Three Generat ions of inspired living
Presented by the Art History Students’ Associ
ation &
The Department of Art History\, Visual Art and Theory
As
the first feature of our Film Nights 101 series\, the Art History Students
’ Association is pleased to announce the screening of Coast Modern\, an ind
ependent documentary film that explores the dynamics of west coast modern a
rchitecture. Join us at the Norm Theatre on November 20th at 6pm in order t
o experience a world of architectural design characterized by its handling
of space and light\, and a close connectedness with the natural environment
. From Los Angeles to Vancouver\, Coast Modern investigates the influence o
f various architects and their experiments in stripping down design to its
‘natural roots.’ Commentary from architects\, historians\, designers and ac
ademics offers insight into evolving design concepts that push sleek precis
ion through untamed existing landscapes.
We are delighted that one of
the film’s co-Directors will be in attendance for a brief talk and discussi
on after the screening. Their extensive knowledge of modernist building con
cepts and visually breathtaking portrayal of west coast architecture provid
es a contextualized glance at design practices that hit close to home. We e
xtend a warm invitation to all students and faculty with an interest in art
and architecture\, in the hopes of facilitating dialogue on principles tha
t have shaped\, and continue to shape\, architectural design in this part o
f the world.
