The top 5:
Secret Mall Apartment
A group of art students cannot resist squatting a new shopping centre. Is it a joke, an art installation, or a political statement against gentrification in their city?
Mother City
The legacy of apartheid is alive and well in the urbanism of Cape Town, where Reclaim The City activists are fighting a David versus Goliath battle against spatial injustice. A fascinating portrait of bravery in the face of violence, racism and corruption.
SCHINDLER SPACE ARCHITECT
Adolf Loos advocated his Raumplan, Le Corbusier his plan libre. The Austrian-American architect Rudolf Schindler combined both into a unique style in which everything revolved around the experience of space: Space Architecture.
Black Water
As far as the horizon reaches we see water – where once there were villages, fields and people. Lokhi decides to move with her family to Dhaka, the fastest growing city in the world. A shocking view of an apocalyptic world.
The Lions By The River Tigris
Amid the ruins of post-ISIS Mosul, three men strive to rebuild not just the city, but also its soul. A fisherman clings to a carved marble lintel, a collector dreams of turning it into a museum piece, and a musician teaches once forbidden songs to a new generation.
