Film Lens
Amie Siegel’s film, The Architects, investigates the narratives behind architecture and design. It examines the creation processes within multiple architecture firms, using slow, parallel tracking shots that mimic an architect’s section plan. This technique provides a unique perspective on how spaces, materials, and objects gain meaning and value.
The film challenges the notion of the singular 'master architect' and raises questions about creative autonomy, labor sociopolitics, and capital circulation. By focusing on the inner workings of architecture firms, Siegel reveals the complexities and collaborative nature of architectural practice.
