Dubai, The Shard Skyscraper Documentary - Vertical Expectations

The Shard, is a skyscraper under construction (at this time of writing) in London Bridge, London. When completed in 2012, it will be the tallest building in the European Union and the 45th tallest building in the world. Vertical Expectations is a 26 minutes documentary that explores the nexus between architecture, development and society through an ethnographic analysis of the current building of the Shard. As a resident in the area I was particularly interested in investigating this phenomenon and the impact it will have in its surroundings and the city. This documentary highlights some of the questions that can inform a more nuanced understanding of architecture's social ramifications and the relevance space art and technology have on local people and the city as a whole. It raises questions about how architecture and space reflect social needs, the role of urban planning in the construction of public areas and the impact it will have on the community. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Documentary selected for: NEOutopia, The Centre for Creative Collaboration, London.

What's with the eerie music?

9 minutes in and waiting to see the construction of the building actually being done. I DON'T care what people think or feel about the building. I want to see the dudes that EXPERIENCE building it AS they build it. Why else would a tradesman watch this video. Not that what people experience as a result of the building BEING isn't valid; is just isn't important or interesting to the viewer who's into seeing building being done.
