Movie: MAILLARTS BRIDGES DVD

In this captivating and informative documentary, filmmaker Heinz Emigholz continues his exploration of 'architecture as autobiography' by examining the work of legendary bridge-builder Robert Maillart, who revolutionized concrete-based construction. He utilized the structural strength of reinforced concrete, establishing a form based on both flat and curved concrete slabs reinforced with steel. In doing so, he brought out the expressive potential of concrete. Eschewing the facts, dates, and timelines of conventional documentaries, Emigholz brings his subject to life through a series of carefully composed shots of Maillart's bridges.
