This documentary recreates a genuine sense of the personal presense of the late modern architect, Paul Rudolph, and the ambience of his studio. Mr. Rudolph was widely recognized within the architectural profession as spontaneously brilliant, and the unchallanged master of space and the manipulation of form.

At its heart, this story is about perseverance and chasing your dream. The Residents never caved to convention. They never compromised.

Centered on the now-vanished warehouse at 411 New York Avenue NE, the film revisits the final year of Union Arts DC—a vibrant hub that from 2012 to 2016 was home to visual artists, musicians, performers, and dreamers. Through archival footage, intimate interviews, and the voices of artists who worked and performed there, the documentary captures the spirit of a space where art thrived and community flourished—until developers arrived with plans for a boutique hotel. As tenants rallied to save their space, Making Spaces: The Legend of Union Arts becomes a powerful elegy for what was lost and a rallying cry for what’s still at stake in the future of DC’s cultural landscape.
