Filmmaker, Howard Silver

SITE, a New York architectural firm, creates innovative buildings that challenge the viewer's expectations of how buildings should or shouldn't look or behave. Examines the philosophy and processes behind SITE-designed buildings, which feature intentionally peeling walls and fractured facades. Documents the construction of the Hialeah, Florida, "Terrarium" building where water runs constantly between two glass panes that enclose a tropical forest
