AUDIOVISUAL NARRATIVES IN ARCHITECTURE

‘The Architecture of Film: Between the real and the constructed’  
Tutor: Mauricio Freyre


Course description

The seminar will focus on the exploration of photography and film as a research and communication instrument in the architectural field. During the course we will investigate concepts like fiction, fact and representation, focusing on its interactions in both mediums: the audiovisual and the architectural.

How to redefine the relationship between photography, film and architecture?

This question is the point of departure of the seminar, a space where the participants will explore different concepts, strategies and techniques, building an architectural discourse and re-visioning the role of architecture through the audiovisual medium.

Participants will create different series of photographs as well as a collective film, exploring the use of sound, text, voice, music, movement, dialogs, etc. trough-out improvisation techniques.

Theme of research:  Nature and architecture: Fictions

We will research trough photography and the audiovisual medium on different narratives related to the relationship of nature and architecture. We will produce a collective essay film in class in the form of a manifesto, reflecting and speculating on different aspects and concepts of the proposed theme.
