MOVING IMAGE / ARCHITECTURE / STORY
ARCOL: DEADLINE — An Architecture Story
Three episodes. One project. An architecture team races from early massing to planning submission while the client changes the brief and the deadline refuses to move.
Part design workflow, part workplace satire, the series follows Carol, Maya and Alex through Rhino and Arcol: testing options, reading live project data and trying to turn a good idea into a finished submission.
Created, written and produced by Philipp Nedomlel / Philipp Galvan Design. Music by Fumame. Sponsored by Arcol. The story is fictional.
