"Film Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman"
Documentary by Eric Brickner
Narrated by Dustin Hoffman.
VISUAL ACOUSTICS celebrates the life and career of the late Julius Shulman, the world's greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman captured the work of nearly every major modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, and Frank Gehry. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, gentleman whose images chronicled this
fascinating period.

"Generation Mobile: The Death of Distance"
Presented by Jennifer Siegal |
Jennifer Siegal
is known for her work in creating the Prefab home of the
21st century. She is the founder and principal of the Los
Angeles-based firm Office of Mobile Design (OMD), and has
chosen manufactured housing as her preferred design medium. |
Beginning with single-family homes, she has now designed and installed her own prefabricated storefront office in Venice California, demonstrating her commitment to the form. Drawing on her fascination with new materials, Siegal is constantly experimenting with new ways of making her units sustainable. Most recently she worked with students at Taliesin West to design and build the award-winning Taliesin Mod.FabTM; a prefabricated off-the-grid home located on the desert terrain.
