SUMMARY:SDAF Design Film Series  GOOGiE
DESCRIPTION:SDAF’s quarterly film series showcases outstanding architecture and design documentaries from around the world\, giving members and the public a chance to discover new perspectives and revisit celebrated favorites. With “design” as the unifying thread\, the program spans an eclectic range of topics-from green living concepts to explorations of furniture making\, interiors\, food\, photography\, landscape architecture\, material sourcing\, and even airstream trailer design. The screenings offer a relaxed\, creative environment where attendees can sketch\, socialize\, and immerse themselves in fresh ideas that expand their sense of what design can be. \nOur featured film of the night\, GOOGiE\, explores how Googie design balanced unexpectedly between a high-tech future of sweeping cantilevers and a verdant past of primeval nature. Rooted in the Organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and practiced by leading architects of midcentury Los Angeles Modernism\, Googie expressed a Modern way to live with technology that still has relevance today. \nExperience the story of Googie architecture\, a style that turned ordinary roadside buildings into unforgettable landmarks and helped define the look and spirit of midcentury America. \nLight snacks and beverages provided.

SUMMARY:SDAF Design Film Series ~ Architecton
DESCRIPTION:An extraordinary journey through the material that makes up our habitat: concrete\, and its ancestor\, stone. Victor Kossakovsky raises a fundamental question: how do we inhabit the world of tomorrow? \nFrom filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda\, Aquarela) comes an epic\, intimate\, and poetic meditation on architecture and how the design and construction of buildings from the ancient past reveal our destruction — and offer hope for survival and a way forward. Centering on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi\, Kossakovsky uses the perfect circle of stones in De Lucchi’s garden to reflect on the rise and fall of civilizations\, capturing breathtaking imagery from the temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon\, dating back to AD 60\, to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in early 2023. Rocks and stone connect the disparate societies\, from ghostly monoliths stuck in the earth to tragic heaps of concrete rubble waiting to be hauled off and repurposed.
