This is a must see film for architecture buffs – cold beer, chardonnay & popcorn….what more could you ask for?

The Infinite Happiness, part of Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine’s Living Architectures series, is a highly unusual architectural experience. The film, shot entirely in Copenhagen’s “8 House” designed by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), follows a group of residents (and passers-by) as they experience life in a contemporary housing block widely considered to embody new models of living.

Conceived as a personal video diary, The Infinite Happiness is an architectural experience. “Just like a Lego tower,” the filmmakers suggest, “the film constructs a collection of life stories all interconnected through their personal relationships with the building.” It therefore “draws the lines of a human map, which allows the viewer to discover the building through an internal and intimate point of view – all while questioning the architecture’s ability to create collective happiness.”

After the film, attendees joined Robert Bean and Lila Morency of IMPACT for a vibrant discussion that dove into the film’s themes.

Robert and Lila kicked things off, sparking a lively conversation that invited everyone to share their thoughts and insights. The lively exchange fostered a sense of community as participants connected over the film’s relevance to today’s social issues. It was an inspiring wrap-up to the evening, leaving everyone buzzing with motivation and a sense of camaraderie!
