Skin of Glass
Documentary by Denise Zmekhol
2023
By blending personal the film reflects the tumultuous evolution of Brazil, its economic decline and contemporary social movements. Philippe Rizzotti developed the Momento Monumento project there, transforming the tower into a social and cultural laboratory for the Year of France in Brazil (2009), in collaboration with Coloco and Brazilian architect Marcos Da Silva. Technically brilliant, Skin of Glass captivates with its intimate story, striking images and moving soundtrack.

Digital Atlas of post-carbon architecture
May 2023
The ” Digitalisation of heritage and architecture ” call for projects, part of the ” Acceleration strategy for innovation “, is a natural extension of the research project ” L’Empreinte d’un habitat – construire léger et décarboné ” presented and published by the Pavillon de l’Arsenal in 2021. This study constitutes an initial collection of 33 digital duplicates of residential buildings that we
now wish to complete and make accessible to as many people as possible via the creation of a digital platform. The aim is to build up a digital documentary collection to improve understanding and accelerate the diffusion of a post-carbon architectural culture, which is necessary to support and transform all construction trades.
