New documentary 'To Build Law' offers insights into building change at the Canadian Centre for Architecture

Beginning this week, the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) will be screening the new documentary To Build Law from Francesco Garutti and director Joshua Frank as the second installment in its multi-part 'Groundwork' exhibition. 

The film opens a dialogue into the inter-dynamics of law and the built environment, following Arno Brandlhuber’s studio bplus.xyz (b+) and the ETH Zurich’s seven-year-old station.plus (s+) initiative as they attempt to use legal mechanisms for proactive change and community-building to augment the movement for adaptive reuse over demolition in cities across Europe. 

Screenings will be held regularly through May 25, 2025.
