Making Space (50 MIN) by Alice Shure, Janice Stanton, Ultan Guilfoyle

For the first time in history, women are creating some of the most exciting architectural designs in the world. How have they navigated their way to the top? What is the nature of their creative process? Are there gender differences in architectural design?

Making Space is a 1-hour documentary film about five dynamic and accomplished female architects-all rising stars in what has been an all-male galaxy-: Annabelle Selldorf (New York), Marianne McKenna (Toronto), Kathryn Gustafson (Seattle and London), Farshid Moussavi (London), and Odile Decq (Paris). Come with us on this intimate journey as we see how these women are transforming the landscape of the 21st Century. Without script or narration, each woman tells her own story, enhanced by the insights of critic Paul Goldberger, MoMA’s Peter Reed, Paola Antonelli and others.
