Director Tom Jennings' new film The
Architects: A Story of Loss, Memory and Real Estate follows the
international competition to rebuild the site of The World Trade Center after
9/11. Focused on the unrealized design proposal from United Architects, the
film sheds light on the importance of this public competition, delicately
considering the site’s history, symbolism and future. United Architects was a collaboration
between Greg Lynn of Greg Lynn FORM, Kevin Kennon of Kevin Kennon
Architects, Ben van Berkel of UNStudio,
Peter Frankfurt of Imaginary Forces, Jesse Reiser & Nanako Umemoto of Reiser+Umemoto
Architects, and Alejandro Zaera-Polo & Farshid Moussavi of Foreign Office
Architects.
