If Buildings Could Talk

There's an interesting post on the Times Literary Supplement blog regarding a project by six film-makers. Each has chosen a building and proceeded to make a 3D film uncovering the "soul" of that building. The series is entitled Cathedrals of Culture. The buildings that were chosen are the Berlin Philharmonic; the National Library of Russia; Halden Prison, Norway; the Salk Institute, California; Oslo Opera House; and Centre Pompidou, Paris.

The project is being led by film-maker Wim Wenders, who says the films allow viewers to be "immersed like never before into a place” and that the buildings “speak for themselves”.
