Un atelier pour la paix: 51 nations pleines d’espoir, 11 architectes brillants, 1 symbole mondial.
DVD. Nations Unies. 2005. 54 min.
“Un atelier pour la paix, dont la toile de fond se situe dans les années suivant la Second guerre mondiale qui fut particulièrement destructrice, revient sur les conflits fascinants qui mirent aux prises en coulisse les meilleurs architectes du moment chargés de dessiner un "atelier de la paix" censé refléter une ardents volonté de vivre dans un monde sans guerre. Ce documentaire de 54 minutes décrit comment le travail collectif d’un groupe d’architectes déterminés et talentueux a cristallisé les espoirs et les idéaux d’une jeune organisation à travers la conception innovatrice d’un ensemble architectural fait de verre, d’acier et de marbre. “
