Design for Death is a 1947 American documentary film that won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. [1] It was based on a shorter U.S. Army training film, Our Job in Japan, that had been produced in 1945–1946 for the soldiers occupying Japan after World War II.
Using newsreel and re-enacted footage, this documentary attempts to describe the historical forces that culminated in the Japanese aggression during World War II. The filmmakers contend that a concentration of power in too few hands can lead to war.
In a city of mostly dead, can good design preserve a cemetery? Can we continue to use good design to preserve, improve and rethink the way the space is activated?
