Architectural Space Experience and Meanings in Cinema Films

Abstract

This research analyzes how film frequently proposes the experiencing of space through spectators’ identification and narrative. The research reviews precedent approaches to film in architecture education focusing on the importance of film viewing. It also analyzes the portrayal of domestic life in two scenes in order to represent how spectators’ identification and narrative together connect the experiencing of space in film. Representation is central to the way architects design. Starting from the very first ideas to the final drawings, architects employ repeatedly in “representing-thinking-representing,” purifying the design at each cycle. Through representations, architects are able to establish dialogues that promote intimate explorations through one’s thoughts, and at other times they are a manner of communicating design features to others such as team members and clients.
