Concrete is the most widely used material in the world after water, according to Viktor Kossakovsky in Architecton. This observation conceptually links this third part of his ‘A-trilogy’ to the second part, the water documentary Aquarela (2018), which was in turn the sequel to ¡Vivan las antipodas! (2011). The connection is also made visually, with slow-motion shots in which falling boulders and stones seem to flow like rivers. Accompanied by a score by composer Evgueni Galperine, this gives the visual symphony about concrete and stone a hypnotic power.Kossakovsky moves from the ruins of the temples of Baal to Ukrainian buildings bombed by the Russian army, from houses destroyed by earthquakes in Turkey to quarries where building materials are extracted with brute force.His historical reflection on construction and destruction centers on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi who, in protest against the transience of modern construction and as a lesson in modesty in our relationship with nature, creates a ‘magic circle’ in his garden, where humans are forbidden to set foot.

From filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda, Aquarela) comes an epic, intimate and poetic meditation on architecture and how the design and construction of buildings from the ancient past reveal our destruction — and offer hope for survival and a way forward. Centering on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele de Lucci, Kossakovsky uses the circle to reflect on the rise and fall of civilizations, capturing breathtaking imagery from the temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon, dating back to AD 60, to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in early 2023. Rocks and stone connect the disparate societies, from ghostly monoliths stuck in the earth to tragic heaps of concrete rubble waiting to be hauled off and repurposed anew. Through Kossakovsky’s inquisitive lens, the grandeur and folly of humanity and its precarious relationship with nature posits the urgent question: How do we build, and how can we build better, before it’s too late?
