COURSES
Studio | Undergraduate 3rd, 4th, and 5th years + Graduate all levels --- for example:: CINEMATECTURE | Motion & eMotion: Morphotion; www.thearchitectpainter.com/ARLINGTON/studio2001THRESHOLD.htm &
Seminar | Architecture Theory | Graduate + Upper Level Undergraduate --- for example: Film Architecture | CINEMATECTURE. Seminar on literal and metaphorical connections between architecture and film. Significant films, such as Strike, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Metropolis, Berlin: Symphony of a Great City, Man with the Movie Camera, Playtime, Stardust Memories, and Blade Runner, in which architecture and urbanism are major visual and psychological dramatis personae and/or the architecture of the visual frame is central to a film's aesthetic structure, provide the basis for examination of the essential problem of Story and Form. In addition to emphasis on the interplay between action and environment and phenomena of cinematic-architectonic space and form, the course also addresses the origins of motion in modern art, the development of a grammar of narrative/visual devices, and parallel developments in allied plastic arts. The course includes film viewing (including independent and web-based films), lectures, and discussion of readings. Students are introduced to specific software applications as environments in which to produce and present a digital-based research or creative project..; www.thearchitectpainter.com/ARLINGTON/cinematecture.html
