SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING | PANEL DISCUSSION | THE GRUEN EFFECT: Victor Gruen and the Shopping Mall – Cities, Architects and Commerce
DESCRIPTION:The Gruen Effect: Victor Gruen and the Shopping Mall\nBy Anette Baldauf and Katharina Weingartner\nDocumentary (A) 2009\nCo-production: pooldoks – ORF/RTR/FFW\nIn The Gruen Effect, an architect’s life, work, and critical humor become a means to make sense of the cities we live in today. The Viennese architect Victor Gruen is considered the father of the shopping mall. His ideas about urban planning, both influential and abused, have led to cities that serve the new gods of consumption. By tracing Gruen’s path from prewar Vienna to 1950s’ America and back to Europe in 1968, the documentary explores the themes and mistranslations that have come to define urban life.\nPanel discussion participants\nAnette Baldauf, sociologist, DeSingel Art Campus, Vienna/Antwerp\nAlan Bruton, architect, Parson’s The New School for Design, New York\nKatharina Weingartner, filmmaker, Vienna.\nMichael Gruen, lawyer, New York.\nChair: Katarina V.
