Portrait  of an architect

Directed and produced by
George Sluizer and Wim van der Velde

Summary
A portrait of Germany’s major architect. In 1920, Scharoun wrote: ‘All building must be found in Man’s inner life’. Man stood always in the centre of  Sharoun’s thinking. Buildings should enhance relationship with others. The Darmstadt primary school concentrates for example on all that has to do with the child’s mental growth. The class rooms differ in form, decoration, colour and lighting. Kant wrote : ‘Space is a form of conscience’. The Philharmonie in Berlin is the complete realization of this ideal.
