The work of Squint Opera
Interview with Jules Cooke
by Cordula Zeidler
Squint Opera are a young company. Founded in 2002, they produce films on architecture projects and masterplans, including such diverse projects as the London Olympics and the regeneration of Jeddah. And they also have a more artistic strand: Squint Opera have created stunning hyper-real still images, such as a series of imaginary scenes of London in 2090, after water levels have risen and flooded the city. I spoke to co-founder Jules Cocke about their work, and about the challenges of communicating architecture by means of the moving image.
