Description
“REXHEP – What Killed the Architect” is a documentary about the life and work of architect and urban planner Rexhep Luci and about Prishtina, the city he loved and the city where he was murdered in September 2000. The documentary tells his personal and professional relationship with the city, from his commitment to urban growth during the Yugoslav era to his determination to prevent unauthorized construction in the post-war period. His niece, Besa, through intimate conversations with Rexhep’s family and colleagues, as well as by following an architectural intervention on the street that bears his name, takes us on a journey through his life and the urban development of Prishtina. The documentary explores what stops an architect.
