This short film speculates on the revival of the revolutionary ideals embodied by the late John F. Kennedy, former President of the United States. JFK stands for humanity’s industrial fixation; a symbol of the space race, the Cold War, technological power, unification and integration, idealism, romance, prospect, false hope, failure, death, and ultimately an unfinished legacy left in an almost mystic and allegorical ruin. This narrative is akin to the legends of Greek gods–blessed with great power and great flaws–whose existence often ended in tragedy.

The architecture that arises from these themes is representative of what it means to be human, celebrating both our failures and achievements, seeking comfort in our mortality, and overcoming the inevitable adversities that life presents us. The ruins of a failed lunar colony base serve as the foundations for a newly constructed Earth Embassy on the Moon. An outpost at an urban scale, where the nations of Earth can send diplomats and scientists to engage in a united effort towards undoing the scars of the anthropogenic. It serves as a reminder to this generation and the next, that Earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the Earth.
