'The Physics of Culture' Film Screenings and Talks by Grafton Architects

The Physics of Culture
Grafton Architects 2016

Grafton Architects first exhibited their project for a new university campus for UTEC in Lima, Peru in the 14th Venice Biennale curated by David Chipperfield. At that point the project was not yet built and was shown through large-scale models in their exhibition called ‘Architecture as New Geography’ which won the Silver Lion. Two years later when Alejandro Aravena invited Grafton Architects to show the project again in the 15th Biennale, film was chosen as the best medium through which to convey as closely as possible, the physical experience of the building and the city of Lima. The film was made in collaboration with Peruvian film-makers Filmico and various users of the building - students, custodians, teachers.
