Synopsis
The video quadro (Italian for square, picture, frame) is a film portrait of a monumental 1960s apartment block built in the Italian coastal city of Trieste. Resembling a fortress, this imposing structure, laid out in the shape of a square, floats on top of a hill overlooking the city. This video is not an architectural documentary in a conventional sense. Its sole foundation is solely the filmmaker’s subjective fascination with the constructed manifestation of a radical design idea and a failed social utopia
