ARCHITECTURAL VIDEOSLife and Architecture SeriesWe are much honored to present you the rich and alive architectural projects through a series of architectural films. The series, with sections arranged in a duration of 20 minutes, will be released in a weekly sequence to show the very inspiring examples of contemporary architecture from different countries. The overarching theme of these films is 'Patronage of Architecture' and the series aim to introduce persons and institutions who have recently supported the development of architecture with their income and/or personality. The videos listed below examine the architectural and social environmental consciousness within this context; highlight some important urban projects and design platforms; focus on different public housing experiences from diverse countries and show how positive and effective results can be obtained when conscious support is given to architecture.
