The film samples opinion from users and architects alike, and explores the controversial realities of self-built housing, in what designers and architects intended to be a completely controlled environment. PREVI_45 Years after its conceptionis a testimony of how social housing and city planning are engaged by both top-down and bottom-up efforts. The short film is being exhibited on a screen in the PREVI section of the exhibition along with original drawings of the project. This film is the only contemporary visual of the complex within the exhibition.
