Documentary Gallery

The production company Gallery has officially begun filming a new documentary about the Fran Silvestre Arquitectos studio, directed by Brazilian-Portuguese director Augusto Custódio. The production, provisionally titled “Fran Silvestre”, will offer a deep dive into the professional career of the Spanish architect, seeking to highlight his minimalist approach and the harmony between aesthetics and functionality in his designs.

The documentary, which is currently being filmed, will be completed in early 2025 and will feature testimonies from Fran Silvestre and his team, as well as professionals from the world of architecture such as Aires Mateus and Álvaro Siza, among others. Throughout the production, key projects from his studio will be explored, some completed and others in the process of construction. The aim is to show the attention to detail that the studio pursues in the different phases of work.

The premiere date is already confirmed for September 2025 on Amazon Prime, where viewers will be able to discover more about Fran Silvestre’s creative process, his influences and how he seeks to influence architectural modernity with his award-winning designs. In the meantime, Gallery has shared some exclusive sneak peeks from the shoot, including behind-the-scenes moments from the production and commentary from the Fran Silvestre Arquitectos team.
