In this movie we filmed at Domaine de Boisbuchet in southwestern France last month, design curator and collector Alexander von Vegesack gives us a tour round the estate, which features pavilions including Shigeru Ban’s first permanent building in Europe, pioneering bamboo structures by Simón Vélez and experimental domes by German structural engineer Jörg Schlaich.

Von Vegesack also explains how he turned the run-down 15th-century country estate into a magnet for leading architects and designers, who come to teach workshops each summer and build pavilions and installations in the grounds.
