AATE & IFI present Irish Focus:
Temptation of Influence
2025 | Ireland, Italy, USA, UK | 44’
Temptation of Influence is a filmic essay and a collage exploring how architectural ideas are passed down, reinterpreted and inevitably misread across generations. It begins in the Dublin study of architect Shane de Blacam, where Palladio’s Four Books line the walls beside sketches by Shane’s teacher and friend Louis Kahn. From this intimate setting, the film journeys across Ireland, the Veneto and the East Coast of the United States, tracing the fragile mechanics of architectural inheritance through buildings, landscapes and conversations. Contributors include Kenneth Frampton, Níall McLaughlin, Sheila O’Donnell, Mary Laheen, Peter Carroll and others, reframing how influence moves through memory, encounter and place.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Marko Milovanovic in conversation with Peter Carroll, Director at A2 Architects and Head of Architecture at SAUL.
Director/Writer: Marko Milovanovic
