SYNOPSIS
Green Over Gray portrays the theoretical and design development linked to the Green Architecture revolution, through the analysis of some seminal projects by Emilio Ambasz, which have covered the current debate on climate impact and introduced a vision of Nature that today, 40 years later, we recognize as a turning point in the history of the relationship between man and the environment. Such projects witness the importance of a well-balanced environment for better human daily life. A film is a perfect format for illustrating environmental care to vast audiences, showing how architecture can address the issue of climate change, better conditions for living, and better solutions for urban decay.
The visual register therefore plays on the drawings and images of the built architectures, allowing us to enter the logic of Emilio Ambasz’s poetic world, in the belief that technique alone is not enough, and that architecture is such only if it is capable of arousing emotions. Architects and local partners guide us in commenting on the works.
Green Over Gray was presented as the opening film of Milano Design Film Festival – MDFF 2024, and was selected by the International Festival of Films on Art – FIFA 2024 of Montréal.
