Surroundings / Hosannas to Moshe Safdie

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2005 / July 18

The latest is "Moshe Safdie - The Power of Architecture," Donald Winkler's film about the Israeli-Canadian architect, which was screened on Sunday. Safdie, one of the world's most prosperous and successful architects, is definitely worthy of a cinematic portrait outlining his personal and professional image and what he, along with modern architecture, has gone through from the era of failed utopia until today's era of ostentation.
