Green Over Gray. Emilio Ambasz

Green Over Gray portrays the theoretical and design development linked to the Green Architecture revolution, through the analysis of some seminal projects by Emilio Ambasz, which have covered the current debate on climate impact and introduced a vision of Nature that today, 40 years later, we recognize as a turning point in the history of the relationship between man and the environment.

The theme of Architecture’s accountability towards a design that ensures the welfare of the different ecosystems in which we live is also addressed in the documentary through exclusive interviews with, among others, Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma, Toyo Ito, James Wines, together with Barry Bergdoll, Fulvio Irace and Stefano Mancuso. 

Original models, shot in a theatre with special visual effects, images of contemporary life in the existing buildings, above the lyrics and fables by Emilio Ambasz, give shape to an unconventional and dreamlike documentary on how Architecture can influence our behavior and our impact on the planet.
