A short film about architecture and the poetry of light and space. In an empty building, a temple of knowledge, movement is detected. Two people in their youth, desperate for meaning, are looking for human contact in a world of facts and figures.

Poem by Walt Whitman.

The Learn'd has been realized in occasion of the shortlist nomination for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2015 and will be part of the exhibition that opened its doors on May 7th, 2015 at the Mies van der Rohe Pavillion in Barcelona.
