“Today”, a non-fictional video about Provinciehuis
On the occasion of the nomination for the Simon Architecture Prize 2016, KAAN Architecten has produced “Today”, a short film about daily life inside the Provinciehuis of North-Brabant.
The Provinciehuis of North Brabant in ‘s-Hertogenbosch is a lively structure and its inhabitants are the engine of this efficient governmental apparatus. The iconic building, originally designed by Hugh Maaskant, prominently standing out in a countryside landscape, is the setting for a multitude of personal daily interactions.
Filmed by Dutch director Marcel Ijzerman, “Today” is a short non-fiction movie consisting of seven recorded conversations collected in the building that reveal the complex social structure of the administrative body, paired with a specific overview of the spaces as seen through the eyes of its users.
