MACHINE FOR LIFE (2012) 5min

​

Inspired by a series of conversations about architecture and the poetics of space between filmmaker Ruth Somalo and architect designer Suchi Reddy, Machine for Life examines spaces of discovery and intimacy.
Set in an unspecified futuristic era and location and drawing from Le Corbusier’s concepts of “the mechanized”; our heroine space traveler arrives at an unknown place (Reddy’s NYC apartment).

After exploring its characteristics and taking full advantage of the opportunities that the carefully-designed elements allow, the space sets the scene for a tantalizing tale of urban bliss.
