Celebrating the unique creative spirit that drives architecture and design, the Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF) comes to Tippet Rise Art Center, the 10,260-acre sculpture park and classical music center in the Montana highlands, this September. Architect Kyle Bergman, ADFF’s founder, will bring a lineup of eight films to Tippet Rise that intimately explore the connections between nature and architecture and examine how architects from around the world grapple with the constraints and inspirations presented by their sites. After an extraordinary summer of music at Tippet Rise, the film festival will cap off the season by celebrating the art center’s equally extraordinary landscape and sculpture. The three-day event will feature guest speakers and Q&A sessions.
As the building production had been limited during the preceding socialist era, buying land for building a house was next to impossible and the society as a whole preferred mass housing construction of block of flats, the idea of a house was wrapped in the aura of scarce goods. Thus, it was no wonder that after 1989 many new designs and building companies responded to the existing strong demand. The individually owned family house, inspired by the image of “happy” lifestyle of the Western countries, represented embodiment of the dream of modern living. It was a dream influenced by the desire to express one’s own individuality and the attempt of the newly forming middle class to present itself. The winner of the free choice contest was usually a turnkey catalog house.
