Course Overview

This graduate studio integrates cinematic analysis with architectural site documentation and design proposition. Film is treated not as illustration but as a spatial research method — a way to read movement, framing, and threshold conditions in the city.

Methodology

Students analyze selected film sequences alongside on-site documentation, translating cinematic spatial logic into architectural diagrams and design interventions. The studio connects directly to the Cinematic Urban Interface Analysis research line within CD HUB.

Learning Outcomes

• Apply film-based analysis as a legitimate architectural research instrument
• Document urban interfaces through combined cinematic and site-based methods
• Produce design propositions grounded in documented spatial research
