INSIDE PIANO
From The Living Architecture Series

by Ila Beka and Louis Lemione


B&B Italia Design Studio

This mid-length documentary film allows us to rediscover a little know building of Renzo Piano which is actually the experimentation field in which the architect has developed many elements he used a year after for the famous Centre Pompidou in Paris.



Following the daily paths of a series of employees of the world reknown B&B design firm, we are welcomed to an architectural visit from the underground to the roof.

About Living Architectures

Living Architectures is a series of films that seek to develop a way of looking at architecture which turns away from the current trend of idealizing the representation of our architectural heritage. The cult of perfect, disembodied forms entirely devoid of people, inevitably leads to a breakup between architecture and living space.

Through these films, Ila Beka and Louise Lemoine put into question the fascination with the picture, which covers up the buildings with preconceived ideas of perfection, virtuosity and infallibility, in order to demnstrate the vitality, fragility, and vulnerable beauty of architecture as recounted and witnessed by people who actually live in, use or maintain the spaces they have selected. Thus, their intention is to talk about architecture, or rather to let architecture talk to us, from an “inner” point of view, both personal and subjective.

Unlike most movies about architecture, these films focus less on explaining the building, its structure and its technical details than on letting the viewer enter into the invisible bubble of the daily intimacy of some icons of contemporary architecture.>br>
Through a series of moments and fragments of life, an unusually spontaneous portrait of the building would emerge. This experient presents a new way of looking at architecture which broadens the field of its representation.
