London based studio Squint/Opera http://www.squintopera.com, specialized in the production of architectural videos, realized, in collaboration with iMage http://www.image-web.org, a film on the NEXT-GENE20 project http://www.next-gene20.com.
10 Taiwanese architects and 10 internationally selected architects design a series of houses: NEXT-GENE20 is the projects that collects their visions for the realization of a qualified residential complex that harmonizes with the natural beauty of the Northeast Coast National Scenic Area, 50 minutes from Taipei, Taiwan. The invited architects are notable, mainly young, designers, who all share an interest in experimentation: Yung Ho Chang, Ray Chen, Hsueh-Yi Chien, Jay Wen-Chieh Chiu, Julien De Smedt, GRAFT, Akihisa Hirata, Irving Hung-Hui Huang, Sheng-Yuan Huang, IaN+, Yu-Tung Liu, Kengo Kuma, Shu-Chang Kung, Fernando Menis, Toshiko Mori, MVRDV, Hailim Suh, David Chun-Tei Tseng, Kyle Chia-kai Yang, Kris Yao.
The video, titled "Team NEXT-GENE20", presents the project in Taiwan by means of a surprising comic book which, once animated, travels around the twenty experimental villas with the architects appearing, ironically, in the manner of superheroes who are undertaking a very special mission. The soundtrack takes its inspiration from kung-fu movies, "The Blues Brothers" and James Bond.
