The children of architects have been making films about their parents, including Jim Venturi's 'Stardust: The Story of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown' and Yael Melamede's 'Ada- My Mother the Architect.' These films may aim to leave a mark on the world like their parents did with their buildings or explore the architectural personality. Architecture's qualities as a creative pursuit lend themselves well to the screen, allowing directors to examine buildings as stand-ins for their parents. Jim Venturi's film is particularly complex and rich as both of his parents were prominent architects who helped shape postmodernism.
