Architecture in Short: 'Battersea Power Station: Selling an Icon'

After a long period in which photography was effectively the only language used to document architecture, moving images are increasingly gaining prominence as a way to enrich the architectural discourse.

The rise of video on social media and mobile devices is one of the factors driving the industry toward this form of expression. Arquitectura en Corto was created to promote the short film as a medium for effectively communicating new architecture.

“Battersea Power Station: Selling an Icon” tells the story of the Battersea Power Station, from its prominence as an industrial powerhouse to its years of abandonment, speculation, and the disastrous planning involved in replacing its chimneys.
