15 sci-fi movies, 15 famous architectural locations
‘Brutalist’ architecture seems to be an unwritten law of sci-fi location scouting. I automatically remembered the odd portuguese sci-fi movie, Solveig Nordlund’s Low Flying Aircraft, which was set mostly in the Torralta Towers, since then demolished (notice the Wile E. Coyote eye on our Prime Minister 2 minutes into the video).
That movie has another scene - the ‘futuristic stormtroopers creating havoc’ scene present in 85% of sci-fi - set in the CGD headquarters in Lisbon, which is absent but I think should top the list for architectural Orwellian creepiness (in a tacky, early 90s kind of way).
