For over 15 years, my work documenting Bauhaus architecture around the world has shown me how this movement transcends borders.
In Chile, I found a story of adaptation and resilience — a testament to how architecture can respond to the needs of local communities.
This film seeks to tell the story of Bauhaus not as a historical movement confined to Germany, but as a living set of principles that take shape in response to local culture, landscapes, and challenges. By collaborating with a Chilean filmmaker, the film allows me to bring a global perspective into direct conversation with local realities, creating a rich dialogue that can inspire architects and designers today.

Camilo Correa-Costa is a sound engineer, filmmaker, and analogue photographer whose work explores memory, identity, and transformation. Rooted in 19th-century techniques, his art emphasizes process, collaboration, and decolonial narratives. As a migrant, he crafts pieces reflecting personal and collective experiences, blending imperfection and authenticity to challenge dominant perspectives.
