The film The Socialist, the Architect and the Twisted Tower is one of the
first to come to mind on your topic.  The twisted torso design .... wow.
 Very memorable film!

The Greening of Southie (2007), conflict between architect and construction
crews, community
Super Bridge (1997)
Rem Koolhass: a kind of architect (2007)
Tokyo's sky city (2003, Extreme Engineering series)
Architects at Work series.  (2006)

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
