Film & Architecture Studio 2019: A City of Thousand Steps

STUDIO ON FILMMAKING IN RELATION TO CITY AND ARCHITECTURE

The first Film & Architecture Studio, took place from 5 until 9 October 2019, and offered a comprehensive way to use cinematic language in architecture and urban design. From research, scriptwriting and storyboarding, to filming and post production. The course focuses on learning and understanding the narrative of filmmaking and its application in the design process, a hands-on studio in which participants learned to structure stories and went through all stages of filmmaking.

The studio was a condensed course that offers new ways of researching the built environment and turning this research into well-structured and gripping stories. It is a class where participants with various background were introduced to essential elements of filmmaking and learn how to relate these to architecture and the city.

Here are two short movies that were produced during the Film & Architecture Studio 2019:
