This is a course that studies relationships between the cinema and the city. Since 1895, the cinema has imposed its representational forms and points of view on the city, until consciousness of the city has come to resemble its cinematic representations. Simultaneously, expansive suburban growth, massive skyscraper development, urban renewal and reconstruction projects, the architectural spectacle and theme parks have transformed the form of the city. This course examines the relationship between these two forms of mapping the city: cinematic representation of urban space and architectural representation of urban form.

This advanced pro-seminar explores architectural research techniques through collaborative investigation of a specific issue facing the field. Rather than study research methods in the abstract, students are asked to actively carry out detailed research in teams and reflect upon its limits and potentials. The research project of each semester is carried through to realization in the form of a book, a conference, or an exhibition organized by the students in subsequent semesters.
