A new monthly film series investigating issues of architectural concern within contemporary, documentary and avant-garde film.

This month's film is Sketches of Frank GehryAn intimate portrait of architect Frank Gehry by his long-time friend Sydney Pollack, Sketches traces the renowned architect’s life and creative struggles from his youth to his colossal artistic achievements, which include some of the most striking buildings of the modern era.

Starting with the original sketches that Gehry made for each of his monumental projects, the film explores the architect’s process in transforming these abstract sketches and three-dimensional models, most often made from cardboard scraps and scotch tape, into towering buildings of titanium and glass, concrete and steel, wood and stone. Directed by Sydney Pollack.
