Dieste [Uruguay]

A rhythmically edited film tour of nearly 30 works by the Uruguayan engineer and architect, Eladio Dieste, whose work is unique and specific in its unconventional brick stacking and use of shell structures. No talking heads, no voice-overs, a purely audiovisual immersive experience.

Mercedes Sader: “Dieste’s brick vaults are not only an incredible feat of engineering, but also part of the emotional and aesthetic landscape of Uruguay. For me, as someone who grew up surrounded by his architecture, this film evokes both admiration and personal memories.”
