Wendelien Van Oldenborgh examines the devenir - and partial failure - of the multifunctional community centre Het Karregat in Eindhoven by implementing a filming methodology that translates architectural premises such as 'open, 'user-led' and 'participative' into cinematic devices.

synopsis

Beauty and the Right to the Ugly is a cinematic experiment set in the multifunctional community centre Het Karregat in Eindhoven. Designed by architect Frank Van Klingeren and completed in 1974, Het Karregat, situated in the centre of a neighbourhood of new housing, was an open-plan space where different activities and functions - a library, a school, a café, a health centre, a supermarket and communal area - would be connected under the same superstructure.
