Architecture is always a bit Emotional

"architecture of infinity" begins so that you are talking about the early loss of her father. The Film is a personal?
There is a personal approach, that's true. But it is the architects and artists who negotiate in the Film, the philosophical issues surrounding building and spaces. It is neither my history nor an educational film.

what is it?
A Film about which emotions can trigger architecture. I wanted to discuss sacred buildings, not only in religious but also in the profane sense, and art installations for me as well as the train station hall in Zurich.

What is sacral in the hall of the HB?
you is built like a Church. There is an orientation to the front – as in a Church. Instead of an altar, the tracks are. Then there is a large upper window on the front side and large window to the side. The light is important. And, not least, the railway station, a Church has a representative function.

Sometimes, the effect of churches is also unpleasant.Christoph Schaub, Director

they call themselves agnostics. What are you fascinated by buildings sacred?
you are almost always an architectural event. And these buildings do something with. Not always what you want, sometimes the effect is unpleasant. What also intrigued me is that these buildings get through a statement of significance.

what do you mean?
churches and cathedrals are sacred places. But who says that? Clearly, by Definition, a construction is then Holy, if the Altar is blessed, nevertheless, it remains an allegation.

they say that churches will trigger emotions. What is with all the profane architecture?
It always does so, as the architecture would be something Rational, but I find them very emotional. A good just like a bad house speaks with one and you want to trigger an Emotion. And rooms, anyway; each of us has a spatial socialization. You only remember your children or classroom.

In "architecture of infinity" are not only architects and space artists, but also the drummer is Jojo Mayer. What music has got to do with architecture?
churches were also built, so that singing and music can be. But I wanted to offer a contrast to the anticipated Church chants, that is why Jojo Mayer is a Protagonist. Music is a form of architecture seen on the time level: music adds rhythm to the time and builds, so to speak, a space, an acoustic space.

As a architecture of the infinity looks like for you personally?
is actually a contradiction, because of the build up can be Finite only a little. Thus, an architecture of the infinite is one, the thoughts of the infinite number triggers -- and the churches in our cultural circle often, because of this the Beyond. But actually, for me it is an inner state of mind: Everyone is his own architect or architect of infinity. What makes a free or carries a way? This can be music, literature or love. This interior of the house each and every day builds up.
