Speakers

A film dedicated to the architect Louis I. Kahn and his famous credo
:
|
What slice of sun enters your room? What range of mood does the light offer, from morning to night, from day to day, from season to season and through the years…? |
The film brings his words to life, and unveils hidden secrets about everyday life, space, time and architecture. Especially the film focuses on the seasons and the geographical orientation, with the room as a creator of light; and yes;
A room is indeed not a room without natural light!!!
