The newest documentary from design doco director Gary Hustwit has just dropped. Titled Urbanized, it's the third movie in Hustwit's "design trilogy," which also includes Helvetica and Objectified. This third film focuses this time on the design of modern cities, and the more interesting question of who actually designs them.
Hustwit's design trilogy has become steadily broader and more ambitious, and this newest film "features some of the world's foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers" pontificating on one of the grandest design projects there is: an entire city. There's a ton to talk about with this subject, so we're hoping Hustwit can bring his signature style and ability to both fascinate his viewers and make them feel like experts. The movie is due to hit the festival circuit later this year, followed by a theatrical release probably sometime in 2012.
