| dc.description | We know that ever the since man has learned to place bricks, we have designated those who consider their arrangement. Broadly proclaimed “Architect” we have busied ourselves with covering up our creative intuition and expression, and instead have replaced it with unlimited reasoning of why one should “buy” the idea or concept. Being so immersed in the theatrics of symbolism and parti diagrams that the role of architect has become much less the magical creation of brilliant space and much more the deceptive act of justifying architectural form and payment thereafter. You will be relieved to discover that the although parti diagrams are not entirely true architectural inspiration, the art of architecture still continues in the act of magic brought to us through the means of magic and acts of charlatanism. And without further ado, the contents of these pages lie words which best mummify the meaning and purpose that I have unraveled in the process this thesis. Hope you enjoy it. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Like all great films, architecture has the capacity to tell stories. Stories which ask us to move both physically and psychologically in a orchestrated film composed and directed by the architect. This implies an important role of the architect, the one who designs and informs these structures and spaces, to be the master of spatial, visual, and acoustic storytelling. As an architecture student, it seems to me that unveiling, interpreting, and understanding stories in which architecture confesses to us is a device we have been trained to cultivate. However, it is in the very nature of this “spatial jargon” that we begin to see a lack of architectural storytelling revealed to those whom are ill-informed of the architect’s intentions.. In this thesis book, I will be arguing that architects are bad storytellers, and that filmmakers can inform architects on how to be better at it. | en_US |
