Perrault.
Directed by Spanish Architect, Angel Borrego Cubero, The Competition is
presented as a documentary and reveals the struggles and strategies of some of
the best architects in the world in excruciatingly raw detail.
The Saturday night screening will be followed by a panel discussion
featuring leading experts who will present their thoughts on the architectural
design competition and the film's relevance in today's architecture world.
The panel will feature Angel Borrego Cubero, Director; Andrew MacKenzie,
Founder of City Lab; Annette Pitman, Project Director at Major Projects
Victoria; Gina Levenspiel, Durability Research Architect; and Kerstin Thompson,
Founder of Kerstin Thompson Architects.
