The now-demolished council estate Robin Hood Gardens often occupies opposing positions within the architectural imagination. Was Alison and Peter Smithson's 1972 brutalist contribution to the London cityscape a misunderstood masterpiece or a well-intentioned failure? Fifty years on, filmmakers capture the building in all its glory right before the wrecking ball brings an end to the Smithson's magnum opus. While the controversial East London council estate is honoured at the Venice Biennale, the film revisits the building's critics, champions, and the inhabitants themselves, to determine the true legacy of this concrete utopia.
