ARCHITECTURE IN CINEMA

 The history of Architecture is not just limited to a series of events and evolution of building style and construction. It is also the representation of many other fields of art and culture.

Cinema is a play of the role of expressions and narrative writings, on the other hand, architecture speaks itself through built structures. Architecture comprises forms, aesthetics, and functional requirements by the users and for the users. Representations of architectural ideas and concepts play a major role in establishing dialogue during the design process.

Both Architecture and Cinema are two distinct art forms yet collective efforts of both teams of specialists create interesting art forms to produce a magical journey into the world of cinema. Architecture in cinema helps in creating visuals and scenes that elaborate the storyline, without which no one will be able to understand the feeling that the writer wants to express. The designer can make a believable setting to weave the story around. The field of architecture and cinema are close to each other as both articulate the lived space.

As we engage with the film we feel ourselves to be in another world and time. We add our perceptions and interpretations to the narratives and tune our emotions towards the character. Both cinema and architecture create chronological images of culture and ways of representing the experiential scene of life situations.

All films have an architectural layer to them, whether they contain actual buildings or not for framing an image. When the mental world(i.e. imagined space) combines with the material world(i.e. real space) it gives rise to the final perceived space.

Undeniably, architecture plays a hand-in-hand role and brings out the artistic and aesthetic side of the cinema by bringing out the emotions and expressions of the writer and characters who are living and playing the role.
