About

The project explores the potential of modularity, prefabrication and automation in relation to the rapid changes in medical science, and presents a blueprint for hospital design of the future. Squint/Opera were brought on board to create a film to communicate this revolutionary rethink of the hospital typology.

MY ROLE

As director of the film, I drew inspiration from the hyper sterile environments in science fiction cinema. This is juxtaposed with the lush romantic greenery of nature that fills courtyards and surrounds the building. Long tracking shots and a poetic voiceover draw the viewer further into this futuristic world. I directed a team of animators, art directors and visual effects artists to bring the film to life.
