The winners of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Look Up Film Challenge have been announced at the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial.
A jury comprised of architects and media professionals selected three top prize winners and recognized seven additional films in themed categories. The public can view and vote on their favorite video to win the Public Choice Award until November 1st, 2015.
“The challenge is a first-of-its-kind competition that encouraged collaboration between young filmmakers and architects to produce films that inspire the world to look up and appreciate the beauty of architecture,” says 2015 AIA President Elizabeth Chu Richter, FAIA. “Architecture touches all aspects of our lives – and our well-being. We believe that the more people understand how architecture impacts them, the more they will demand and support excellence in design.”

The Grand Prize has been awarded to My City Listens: filmed in downtown Los Angeles, the film looks at how discovering a city is tied to personal identity and observing the interplay of textures and surfaces by Andrew Jeric and Soha Momeni.

The RED Office, winner of the Secon Prize, is about a San Diego-based real estate development company by the same name, and their multifaceted business model that incorporates architecture into the pursuit of a more livable city by Jeff Durkin and Dragan Radoicic.

The Third Prize went to Mixed Plate Hawaii, by Kaoru Lovett, Graham Hart, and Ronald Ribao, a film about how Hawaii’s diverse cultural heritage has proffered a diverse built environment over time or, as Lovett says, “life in four dimensions.”
