About the Film

Remembering the Future with Herb Greene

Architect and filmmaker Lila Cohen journeys into the imaginative world of her 94-year-old great-uncle, Herb Greene, a visionary architect whose work emerged from the avant-garde teachings of Bruce Goff in 1950s Oklahoma. The film reveals an intimate portrait of a lifelong search to express human feeling through architecture and invites contemporary audiences to rediscover the meaning and relevance of Organic Architecture.
