THE ARCHITECT

Synopsis

In a familiar yet futuristic Oslo, dogs are walked by drones and mortgage decisions are handed down by robotic voices emerging from boxes like those that take your order at a fast-food drive-through.

Architect Julie finds herself faced with an unexpected opportunity when she and a friend stumble upon a growing community living illegally in an abandoned underground car park. When a project to build a thousand flats in Oslo is put out to tender, she has an idea to convert these empty car parks into residential buildings.

This series is a darkly satirical story set in a not-too-distant future that riffs on themes of inequality, self-interest, loneliness and isolation.
