What is Film, Architecture and Spatial Imagination (Ashgate Studies in Architecture) about?

Films use architecture as visual shorthand to tell viewers everything they need to know about the characters in a short amount of time. Illustrated by a diverse range of films from different eras and cultures, this book investigates the reciprocity between film and architecture. Using a phenomenological approach, it describes how we, the viewers, can learn how to read architecture and design in film in order to see the many inherent messages. Architecture’s representational capacity contributes to the plausibility or 'reality' possible in film. The book provides an ontological understanding that clarifies and stabilizes the reciprocity of the actual world and a filmic world of illusion and human imagination, thereby shedding light on both film and architecture. ** General Architecture Film, Architecture and Spatial Imagination - Front Cover 1 Film, Architecture and Spatial Imagination 2 Title Page 4 Copyright Page 5 Contents 6 List of figures 7 Acknowledgements 10 Introduction 12 HOW TO USE THIS BOOK 13 ENTER PLATO’S CAVE OF CINEMATIC DELIGHT 15 CRITICAL APPROACH TO ‘REALISM’ 25 NOTES 28 Chapter 1: German Expressionist film and Heidegger’s fourfold 31 INTRODUCTION 31 GERMAN EXPRESS
