Archiculture is a feature length documentary that examines contemporary issues in architecture by following five university students during their final thesis semester. The film follows the students through the development of their senior thesis projects and the internal and external conflicts that arise during this intense year long process. The students’ stories are supplemented by interviews with family, friends, significant others, industry professionals, architects, and design professors, helping to build a connection between the students and audience. The progression of Archiculture will reveal a breadth of experiences, ranging from the 4AM deadline dash, to the fulfilling sensation of graduation. The film provides viewers with an in-depth look into the creative yet competitive process of architectural education while also depicting current issues such as the role of architecture in society, technology’s impact upon the modern building process, and what lies ahead for environmentally conscious design. The film concludes with the students’ final thesis presentation, where they find themselves on the brink of their adult and professional lives, and the closure of their adolescence.
