Margins, boundaries and borders Relationships between built space and social structures

4 September 21.30 pm: High Rise

For one more summer, the Fundació Mies van der Rohe in Barcelona is turning the travertine into a silver screen and invites you to enjoy architecture in the cinema, in the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion.

In this edition of the Pantalla Pavelló (Pavilion Screen) sessions, we have selected a series of films in which the relationship between the built space, its boundaries and borders, and the people that inhabit it is accentuated and revealed in its maximum expression.

Architecture, and cities along with it, is not simply the innocuous backdrop and stage where we live our lives, but determines and influences how we live, just like our rules for living together and the laws regulating societies.

Based on this idea, the Fundació Mies van der Rohe – Barcelona, invites us to reflect on the built space surrounding us, the cities we want and, as such, the society we desire.

Each film will have a guest give a brief presentation and introduction to the subject. The film will also be followed by a discussion.
