- GIANCARLO DE CARLO, anarchist architect, was born in Genova in 1919. He is the protagonist of the story that tells of a journey from Genova to Urbino, the city where he designed the architecture university invited by the rector, the literary critic Carlo Bo. DE CARLO, played by Aldo Ottobrino, through his voiceover, recalls the relationship with Urbino a cradle of the culture created by the Duke Federico da Montefeltro. This film is a reflection on the design of the city that accompanies the lifetime of Giancarlo De Carlo. A lifetime teeming with a profusion of subjects that summon a profound exploration of a humanist and social nature as was his. But of all the works that bring his name to mind, notwithstanding the numerous theoretical writings, the project of the new Urbino is at the forefront. The ancient Marchigiana town transformed into an open experiment and for which he designed the urban layout, districts, university campus, restorations and much more. Piccardo's film focuses on this and, ten years after his death, De Carlo is brought back to the places he frequented from 1951, upon invitation of Carlo Bo. We are kept closely in touch with the landscape, the territory, history and modernity, in the same way that he loved to keep in touch with it and we mull over thoughts and actions that are narrated in the first person.

- Kevin Roche: The Quiet Architect is a feature documentary film that considers many of the key architectural questions through the 70 year career of Pritzker Prize winning Irish-American architect Kevin Roche, including the relationship between architects and the public they serve. Still working at age 94, Kevin Roche is an enigma, a man with no interest in fame who refuses retirement and continually looks to the future regardless of age. Roche's architectural philosophy is that 'the responsibility of the modern architect is to create a community for a modern society' and has emphasised the importance for peoples well-being to bring nature into the buildings they inhabit. We consider the application of this philosophy in acclaimed buildings such as the Ford Foundation, Oakland Museum and at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for whom Kevin Roche was their principal architect for over 40 years.
