Parasol.

















In Rotterdam the 5th edition of the Architecture Film Festival (AFFR) is finished again. This weekend a program of more than 100 movies related to the field of architecture were shown.
We only watched 4 of them (unfortunately)
"Infinite Space, the architecture of John Lautner" from director Murray Grigor was one of them. A super beautiful movie made in 2008 which was also possible by the contribution of architect Jan Richard Kikkert. He together with friends visited all of Lautners villa's. Google Earth turned out to be a very helpful tool for finding all addresses. In the movie a beautiful shot is when villa Elrod reveals it's position on the globe by the image of it's beautiful roof.

Nowadays, actually only 2 years later Villa Elrod from John Lautner, is easy to find with Google Maps. First hit! Let's hope the Streetview cardriver will do an architectural tour soon...
