Phyllis Lambert and Martien de Vletter at Canadian Centre for Architecture; a still from "City Dreamers."

The concept of planning urban environments that are welcoming and accessible to all will only grow more important in our increasingly globalized and diverse society. City Dreamers is a new documentary focusing on four architects whose names you may not recognize (yet) — Phyllis Lambert (pictured at left, with Martien de Vletter), Blanche Lemco van Ginkel, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander and Denise Scott Brown — who have made a difference in city planning in North America and Europe. Director Joseph Hillel will participate in a Q&A following the screening. Tickets for this virtual event, hosted by Monona Terrace, are limited; register here.

media release: You’re invited to a special screening of the documentary City Dreamers, followed by a live Q&A with Director Joseph Hillel.

City Dreamers is a film about our changing urban environment and four trailblazing women architects who have been working, observing and thinking about the transformations shaping the cities of today and tomorrow for over 70 years.

Phyllis Lambert, Blanche Lemco van Ginkel, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander and Denise Scott Brown may not be household names, but architecture and urban planning aficionados likely know that these women have worked with some of the greatest architects of our time, including the likes of Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn and Robert Venturi. In the course of their inspiring careers, they have left an indelible mark on several cities across North America and Europe.

Director Joseph Hillel lives in Montreal. His award-winning documentaries include Regular or Super: Views on Mies van der Rohe, Karsh is History, and Ayiti Toma.
