The film aims at showcasing the diversity of bench design, the use of the bench as well as dismantling the more hostile effects of certain bench designs. It is an investigation of a banal object that we all have an experience with and which we all interact with in our everyday life. The film highlights how the built environment is embedded with a series of material objects and non-human entities that interfere with questions of inclusivity and exclusivity. Furthermore, these non-human objects that seek to perform certain actions will contain some degree of ambivalence, in the sense they will be inclusive fore some actions (and people), while for others the contrary.

Unlike the promises of modernity in design, a single solution fulfills no one's wish. Even if all of us live in the same city under the same environment, everyone is different. Each one of us has individual voices filled with different needs and wants. However, in cities full of modernist structures across the globe, individual differences or cultural uniqueness can no longer be seen. Can design provide a space for uniqueness? Can every citizen be represented equally in a collective space? Instead of alienating ourselves in this concrete habitat, can we re-learn from nature and cultural expressions?" This film speaks for providing people opportunities to design our future knowing the importance of belonging, of nature, of community and connection. Instead of learning from standardized modernist practices full of concrete and computer programs, we need to learn from our past, from nature, and from our own hands. In order to let everyone's voice be heard, we need to first create a space that enables us to embrace our differences in its design.

Architecture often represents the daily life and characteristics of it's inhabitants.

Hong Kong was claimed to be one of the most energetic cities in the globe with the vase varieties of building environments to meet its dynamic demands of cultural, ethical and demographic diversity. The ever changing city is currently experiencing gradual gentrification. More and more historical buildings were revamped into commercial purposes, while some were converted to cultural grounds. The film discusses the juxtaposition of the development and conservation through a journey of the everyday working class that eventually discovers the disappearance of heritage around the cities. The hybrid management model seeks the balance and solutions of conservation and maintenance. This model making conservation projects works well as 'purikura'- a great selfie machine, but inevitably deprived the core values of local culture. As stakeholders contributing the society, we shall all consider what was “left behind” the revitalization.

I walked along the road around the apartment, reflecting on the process of asking again how the city would have become our haven. In an apartment complex built in the 1970s, trees placed between unintended apartment street intervals create a middle park. The video shows people and animals resting together in the scene where trees placed in the path, not in a public park, create a park landscape. The tree had a buffering effect that absorbed the concept of an artificial building called an apartment as if rubbing it into nature.

A short film created as a spontaneous action of inclusion of a local taxi driver into the conversation of foreign passengers, three friends. Although we didn’t speak the same language as him, in this short moment in time we let the music he likes become our way of silent communication with him. ‘Marjana therras’ is a personal, poetic view of Tirana, where different simultaneous scenes in a symbolic try to evoke different emotions; scenes of old photographs and bucolic nostalgia, contrasted by estranged people on the streets looking at their phones. While I was staying in Tirana I had a strong feeling of empathy towards older, local people. I saw that often they don’t speak any foreign languages, while at the same time, because of economic challenges Albanian people face they are “forced to” work with tourists. As Tirana is rapidly growing and changing, the city center is full of foreigners, both investors and tourists. Local people don’t take a taxi — they take a bus or they drive a taxi. Local people often don’t go out to eat in restaurants — the eat at home or they work in restaurants. Economic differences between local people and foreigners are felt in all areas of life. In Tirana, I had a strong feeling that local people from Tirana often feel as second-grade citizens in their own city, “occupied” by English-speaking foreigners, surrounded by fancy shops and restaurants, which they, local people — can’t afford. This short film is a documentation of one humble effort of trying to make a local taxi driver feel like he’s at home in his own city, by a simple act of showing an interest in his culture through his own personal — music playlist.

The film addresses the issue of the lack of green public spaces in Azerbaijan. Young people usually struggle to find peaceful and clean areas for their leisure time and tend to visit kilometers away from Baku to “escape” the gray scene of it. Also, Baku is surrounded by beautiful coastal areas, however, due to the mismanagement and lack of state responsibility, these spaces are usually full of trash and not taken care of at all. Although, it is cleaned regularly, even around the center you could see people irresponsibly trashing the streets. Psychologically, it is proven that contact with nature and green scenery helps people a lot to relax and sustain a better mental state. Unfortunately, Baku is a very gray city. It even worsens with time when authority is given to those with resources and connections to cut down more green areas to build their private property. We need to preserve and take care of the minimal green areas we have left in Baku and the film addresses its importance.

Artist Mischa Leinkauf conducted an architectional experiment in transforming a square in Chania on the island of Crete into a public meeting point for everyone. In the midst of the covid pandemic he tried, together with students from the local university, to create an open meeting point where locals and tourists come together, talk about Europe and create understanding for eachother

A story about the symbiotic relationship between Tirana and its Grand Park told from the point of a dweller. As the city transforms into a bustling metropolis, the pace of change can be overwhelming for some. Now that Tirana has become one of Europe's busiest metropolises it has overwhelmed some, as the rate of change is hard to keep up with. Amidst the towering skyscrapers and rapidly growing structures, the Grand Park serves as a sanctuary of peace and serenity, providing a much-needed escape for the people of Albania. In this film, the park serves as a metaphor for Tirana, symbolising the link between the towering Dajti mountains and the city's new urban landscape. The park now serves as a key protagonist in the Tirana 2030 Design Plan, acting as a beacon for preserving the city's green spaces and preventing urban sprawl.

MuBE portrays the “Museu Brasileiro da Escultura” built in 1987 by the Architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha. The short movie invites the spectator for a slow journey through the museum, enlightening the relation among the building, the cityscape and the nature, blurring the boundaries between private and public space. His attitude towards architecture was not just to make aesthetic and solitary architecture, but first of all he strived to change the thinking of the people, living, visiting or working in his buildings. In his architecture, rooms act like public spaces, where no divisions and privacy nor segregation take place. People are forced to interact and live together. In his mind, a house should not be more than a place to sleep. And all the rest of the functions are happening in the city itself. MuBE was designed as an introverted, restrained building, carved into stone, it does evolve all the necessary functions in the subterranean layers of São Paulo without disturbing the visual aspect of the surrounding landscape. The portico, the roof over the communal spaces, shelters sculptures and visitors from rain and sunlight, like a stone in the sky. The short movie emphasizes the stone in the sky, through the infinite palette of degradation, weathering patinas and the ever aging construction materials in opposition to contemporary forms of fast architecture and unsustainable resources. Paulo Mendes da Rocha's architecture transcends time and social limits of an inhospitable and inhuman society. Through the use of materials in their most legitimate aspects, Brutalism reveals itself in essence, thus echoing the meaning of architecture: to develop spaces that link city and people.

A film about the village of Matreshkino. This film shows the project of a modern village for people with different financial capabilities to live in. To preserve the barren forest, all the buildings were erected around it, forming the shape of a matryoshka doll. And to maintain the environmental friendliness of the city, an equestrian complex was designed, on whose horses you can arrange walks in the forest part of the village.

Open space plays very important role in dense urban areas for maintaining health and wellbeing of people and the environment of the city. Due to rapid urbanization, haphazard development is seen without adequate open spaces. In other hand, the existing open spaces are being encroached and neglected. This video is about the revitalization of one of the open spaces of traditional city, Bagaicha of Lubhoo, Mahalaxmi Municipality, Nepal. The community collaborated with local government and Lumanti (NGO) for participatory process from designing to operation of the garden.
