London Architecture Series: The Power of Utopia

FREE

As part of the LSA Film Fest, we’re pleased to partner on a three-film screening series exploring the intersections of architecture, design, culture, and community.

The Power of Utopia (2023), directed by Karin Bucher and Thomas Karrer, is an acclaimed documentary that examines the legacy of French-Swiss architect and painter Le Corbusier through the lives of those who inhabit Chandigarh, the modernist city he helped design. Through the perspectives of four artists and cultural workers who call the city home, the film explores the relationship between visionary urban planning and everyday life, opening a thoughtful dialogue about architecture, identity, history, and the idea of the utopian city.
