Design vs. Build
The documentary platform that gets building products into real projects instead of renderings.
The platform is the proof
Design vs. Build is a documentary series about how buildings actually get made — the argument between the drawing and the site. It carries its own name and its own audience, and it is the reason building-product companies get access to projects and people they could not book on their own.
Sponsors do not interrupt the story. They are in it, because they are in the building.

Episodes have covered a whiskey distillery outside Seattle, a 1950s A-frame on Lake Superior, an award-winning theatre in Arkansas, a spec house in a pecan orchard, a Nashville home built around wooden screens, and a public pier on the Hudson.
Alongside the series: twenty minutes on how a scrappy Austin climbing gym became four and built a community around itself; the story of a dead shopping mall becoming a community college and a park, and the hundred years of history underneath it; and one of the world's leading architects on how he thinks about design.
Award-winning, with filming partnerships with architects and builders across the country — which is how a product ends up in a real project instead of a rendering.
