Design for Living: Gary Hustwit's Design Trilogy

TIFF Cinematheque

Gary Hustwit's globe-trotting, three-part exploration of modern design is a major contribution to the discussion about the spaces, objects and images which surround us.

Note

Arriving just as the language of design was crossing into the vernacular of the mainstream, Gary Hustwit's Design Trilogy — comprised of Helvetica, Objectified, and his most recent film Urbanized — is a major contribution to the discussion about the spaces, objects and images which surround us. While not scanting criticism of the poor planning (and taste) that afflicts so much of urban design, Hustwit bypasses the culture of complaint to focus on the positive impact that well-wrought design can have on the culture, environment, and very tenor of our times. — Sean Farnel
