Kevin Roche: The Quiet Architect

He has reached the pinnacle of his career, but is not interested in fame and recognition. His works are renowned and includes Oakland Museum of California, United Nations Plaza and Ford Foundation headquarter amongst many. He also designed the new galleries for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and apparently has no ambition to retire. Roche’s architectural philosophy focuseses on creating a community for a modern society. He designed with the environment in mind, long before climate was on the political agenda.  The film transcends the world of architecture to an inspiring philosophical project we can all take part in.
