Radical Attitudes: The Architecture of Douglas Cardinal
48m
(2004, 48 minutes)
One glance at any of Douglas Cardinal's organic architectural achievements, and 'radical' is no exaggeration. Get set for an hour's worth of the most stunning architecture that any Canadian architect has ever produced.
This documentary follows his career - from bursting onto the architectural scene in the mid 1960s with his radically curvilinear St. Mary's Church in Red Deer, to the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, and the unparalleled architectural controversy over the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC.
This is the remarkable story of an outsider artist struggling against the establishment to change the course of architectural history. Radical Attitudes is a memorable testimony to one man's courage.
