Towards a Cinematic Architecture exhibit will reflect the range of methods explored in the studio – scaled models and drawings, but also conceptual artifacts and films. The studio interrogates the question how do architectural and film space collide? Can design adopt a film-based methodology to interrogate in new ways the way in which bodies engage in an ongoing dialog with space and time? In his Manifesto for Cinematic Architecture, architect Pascal Schöning states: “Cinematic architecture confronts the stable with the temporal. It aims to dissolve or expose the concept of a static material world through a buzz of constant change…(it) is a form of physical dialogue.” The elective studio of the same name – offered at SARUP in the Spring of 2015 and 2016 – asked how and in what ways architecture could be communicated, conceived, understood, and presented as a narrative (i.e. a story about a building). Throughout the course of the semester, students engaged media practices at varying scales and modalities, alongside the deployment of specifically temporal/spatial filmic operations: A series of exercises centered simultaneously on close readings of key theoretical texts and cinematic strategies of shot/counter shot/track/pan had as their target the rich terrain that binds film and architecture discourse
