Before settling in for our finale screening of Rem Koolhaas: A kind of architect, join Nervegna Reed Architecture for a series of shorts shedding light on architecture in Melbourne and beyond.

Known equally for their architectural designs and their films, Nervegna Reed Architecture is preoccupied with exploring the intersections of architectural graphic techniques through film. Screen Test II brings together some of the key players in Melbourne architecture on-screen inside MPavilion 2017, designed by Rem Koolhaas and David Gianotten of OMA. Films on the line-up include:
