Architecture and the Moving Image

What can we learn from the points of contact between Architecture and Film?

This series of talks and screenings is concerned with a dialectic relationship

between the production of images and the proliferation of the built environment.

From the act of construction, to the rituals of daily life or the imaginative

processes that architects undergo, cinema can act as a tool for urban modelling

and as a witness to the creation and inhabitation of architecture. How do artists

engage the built environment? What can architects learn from these approaches?

How can architects utilise cinema in their own practices? How does narrative and

storytelling allow for richer interpretations of architecture? What do academics

make of all this?

This symposium will interrogate the grammar of film and architecture to

establish a new model for cross-disciplinary dialogue. As such, this event will

be of interest to students and scholars in Cambridge and London working across

architecture, anthropology, geography, film, media studies, art history, and the

wider environmental humanities.

This event is open to the public, but requires registration.
