MDFF
65 min
Lingua: Italiano
Regia: Jake Ghorst
Trama
Albert Frey, the Swiss-born mid-20th century architect, aided in the introduction of Corbusian-influenced modernism to the United States. Through his innate curiosity of the American landscape, he developed his own design style, blending industrial techniques and a love of nature. The documentary explores his formative years (until 1939) while working closely with Le Corbusier in Europe. It also shows his important transition to America, including the famed Aluminaire House, the Canvas Weekend House, the New York Museum of Modern Art, as well as his Kocher-Samson Building in Palm Springs. This is the first film of a two part film series. The second one is anticipated to be finished in Spring 2019. It will explore Albert’s life and career in Southern California from 1939 to 1998.
