The Story
The video quadro (italian for square, picture, frame) is a cinematic portrait of a monumental low-cost housing complex built in the 1960s in the port city of Trieste. Like a hilltop fortress, this imposing square complex towers over the city. The social utopias of the time were expressed in this structuralist building, resulting in a bold concrete construction that was out of scale.
