LAUD 475 Cinema and Space

The course dwells upon multiple readings of interior and exterior spaces within the framework of the theory of cinematic montage and cinematic imagery. Understanding and interpreting space concept requires a construction of an interdisciplinary vocabulary and a dialogical situation. Therefore, using and designing a space includes cognitive, moral and aesthetic judgments, and collective, personal and even popular representations. The assumption is that it is possible to form an analogy between cinema and space design, and between the eye and the camera moving in an urban milieu. If design is understood as a cinematographic process, it is seen that both creative acts are organized in time through space and perceived through time in space. Respectively, the notion of architectural and urban spaces, their syntactic characteristics, and analytical simulations form a common analogy with cinema in terms of their production and consumption.
