In Search of Clarity: The Architecture of Gwathmey Siegel
Ever since Charles Gwathmey built his parents' home in 1967 out of theories of Le Corbusier and American individualism, he has held true to the spirit of modernism in his architecture. Avoiding the nostalgia of fashionable postmodernism throughout the eighties, Gwathmey and his partner Robert Siegel continue to create innovative houses, corporate, institutional and university buildings across America.

This documentary ranges from the deMenil villa on the dunes of Easthampton to their Guggenheim Museum addition. We hear from such leading architects as Philip Johnson and Peter Eisenman, and from film maker Steven Spielberg, who describes how a journey through a Gwathmey Siegel house creates the same sense of drama as a well-made movie.
