Robin Hood Gardens
Film Screening
For the first time, Nidus is extending its cultural program and will host a movie screening of the architecture documentary "Robin Hood Gardens" by architects and filmmakers Adrian Dorschner and Thomas Beyer. The movie will be shown in the context of the exhibition “meet me under a roof of leaves” at Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf.
Afterwards there will be a talk with Adrian Dorschner about brutalism, built utopias and why we just cannot let go of the question of how to live together.
About the movie
At the time it opened, the Robin Hood Gardens housing complex in London's East End was the promise of a better life. Together with the architectural photographer Hélène Binet, the documentary filmmakers Thomas Beyer and Adrian Dorschner explore the building shortly before it was demolished in 2017 and explore its importance in the history of architecture. The movie addresses the contradictions and complexity of modern architecture and revolves around the question what we can learn from history for a better life in our cities of the future.
