Much more than a Window

A film about the history of architecture, and how history can be more than history.
A view about what makes MMTW more than a Window, through the eyes of Building Pictures.

You weren’t there
When cities become the home of humankind
When they built the Guggenheim
Or premiere the Playtime

You weren’t there
When humans invented concrete
When Corbusier added 5 points to it
Or utopian cities had no limit

You weren’t there
When they built Brasilia as capital
When Bauhaus ideas were radical
Or Neufert was made universal

You weren’t there
When Eifel Tower inaugurated
When Guernica was painted
Or the Holy Family* invented

You weren’t there
When Architecture met the computer
When Biennale has the first visitor
Or Siza won the Pritzker

You weren’t there
When Glass revolutionized the design
When Farnsworth house was just a line
Or Norman did London skyline

But we could be there
Building dreams together
Inventing ideas: new and radical
Of art, construction, and metal
Creating comfort and minimal
And through our windows
Challenge the world to see
The greatest architecture
Of our time.
