Places for the Soul is a fascinating dive into the mind of Christopher Alexander, a guy who's really passionate about architecture and community. It's not your typical documentary – it feels more like a personal journey. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the ideas and the environments he discusses. The film juxtaposes a high school in Japan with a homeless shelter in California, showcasing how design can shape lives. There's a rawness to the projects that makes you think about how we interact with our spaces. It’s pretty interesting to see how Alexander critiques modern architecture while pushing for more humane alternatives. Not flashy, but definitely thought-provoking and worth exploring.
