This course explores the dynamic relationship between architecture, urban environments, and cinema. Through a combination of film screenings, critical readings, discussions, and creative projects, students will analyze how architecture and the city are represented, interpreted, and transformed in cinematic narratives. Engaging with both visual media and theoretical texts, students will develop a deeper understanding of how these disciplines influence and inspire one another.
