The 24/25 season of the Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF), the world's largest festival dedicated to architecture and design, returns this fall. The season will kick off in NY, showcasing a rich selection of world and U.S. premieres that explore the inspiring, global influence of architecture, design, and art. ADFF's carefully curated program brings together works chosen for their cinematic and narrative excellence, touching on topics such as sustainability, artistic innovation and legacy, community impact, and the power of the built environment. The full festival program, including speaker lineups, detailed information about films, and ticket sales are now available at adfilmfest.com.

Despite the amount of information, certifications and guidelines available for the development of sustainable and healthy contructions, profissionals in the field still face many barriers to realize such projects.

Ways of Seeing will illustrate different types of art selection criteria — by theme, by artist, by size. Each work in The Art Aquatic, one of the exhibitions within Ways of Seeing, exists at the intersection of the artist's fascination with a variety of nautical themes and the artmaking process. Viewers will find imaginative uses of water-related materials: sculptures by Chris Drury of the UK — a kayak and paddle wrapped in salmon skin, Marian Bijlenga’s composition of fish scales, and Jeannet Leenderste’s baskets made of seaweed. Other works offer more abstract references to life in the deep, including Ulla-Maija Vikman’s “painting,” Biagga (Sea Wind), made of viscose threads in marine colors and Mariette Rousseau-Vermette’s Blue Water II, made of woven tubes of beachy blue, grey, white, and yellow. A third series of works offer watery imagery, like Judy Mulford’s Aging by the Sea which incorporates a conch shell and a tiny boat covered in knotless netting, Ed Rossbach’s Fish Trap Basket, with a whimsical fish motif, and the mermaid in Norma Minkowitz’s sculpture, My Cup Runneth Over.
