Architecture on Stage is programmed by the Architecture Foundation in partnership with the Barbican Centre

Join us for two screenings of Stardust: The Story of Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown (2024) – an intimate portrait of two of the most influential architects of the last century.

Filmed over a decade by their son, Jim Venturi, Stardust follows Bob and Denise in a (tragi-comic) road movie across continents, as they look back to the events and buildings that inspired a partnership and love affair of over half a century. 

The screenings will be followed by an onstage interview with Jim Venturi and his co-director Anita Naughton. The interview on Mon 16 Dec will be conducted by Financial Times columnist Jemima Kelly, and the interview on Tue 17 Dec will be conducted by Director of the Architecture Foundation, Ellis Woodman.
