Filmic

The space within a film, though intangible, might not be a mere representation of real space. Agreeing with this, how would we define it? Might it simply be a different kind of space? And if so, can it be analyzed, understood and, shaped? This thesis sets out to determine the ways in which a filmmaker's (considerably different) attitude towards spatio-temporal concerns might serve as a foundation upon which an alternative approach to space-making might develop. To achieve this, we explore cinematic tools and examine filmic processes to help uncover the overlooked potential cognitive experience and perception might have towards the crafting of architecture. A series of exercises—developed by adapting a filmmaker's alternative understanding of time and space will be tested as tools for a speculative exploration of events, behavior and emotion; all set within the context of architectural design suggesting ways to speak of film as an architectural research methodology.
