Arquitectures model – “Per amor a les arts” film series in La Filmoteca

As a part of the film series “Per amor a les arts” by La Filmoteca de Catalunya, which uses cinema as a tool for dialogue with other artistic disciplines such as design, architecture, opera, literature, dance, painting music or theatre, the Fundació Mies van der Rohe presents Arquitectures model, a series of three short films about different topics on architecture with presentation by Ivan Blasi:

The third speaks of the good architecture and urban planning promoted by Italian fascism.
