Building the Earth - A Tribute to the Life and Work of Architect Manuel Gomes da Costa is an immersive film that evokes the constructive and poetic thinking of this unique architect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through 3D animation created from scratch and an original sound composition, the piece offers a sensory dive into the gesture of drawing, designing and inhabiting - from the blank sheet to the built space, from structure to silence, from light to place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on an analysis of the built work and Gomes da Costa's thinking, the film constructs a visual and sound narrative in which architecture reveals itself as a body, as a landscape and as inhabited time. Without resorting to words, the narrative is drawn in layers of line, volume, matter, light and shadow, sound and silence, in which each line is a gesture of listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The piece proposes a contemplative and sensitive approach, where architecture relates to the territory, to light, to time and proposes an intimate and radical approach to the matter of architecture as a way of being in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
