Movie " Black Panther " Stills
Movie is the art of time, but the layering of space is intertwined in the switching of the picture; buildings are space playthings, but the changes in time are implied in the view from the perspective.
The planar movie has a spatial texture under 3D rendering, while the physical buildings are more of a two-dimensional picture for the public.
Movies and architecture are both representative techniques of visual art. Who created whom?
Movie "Inception " Stills
In terms of origin time, architecture has served as an important component of civilization since the birth of mankind, but movies are modern products that gradually emerged in the 19th century. There are many classic movies such as "Inception" and " Budapest Hotel " to express spatial images and extract architectural elements.
However, when the image media is not widely used, the communication techniques of traditional buildings are limited to the expression of images, and the shape of the building is often confined to the display of a single angle rather than the experience of continuousness.
baroque architecture is a representative of continuous architectural experience
Only when the cinematic time fluidity expression techniques are applied can architecture enter the era of global communication, and the ornamental constraints imposed on architecture can be completely freed.
In a sense, architecture gives the movie a new inspiration and opportunity, while movies are the liberation and redemption of architecture . However, the bond between movies and architecture is far more than that.
01
prototype and inspiration
Baumschulenweg crematorium
Perhaps in the movie "The Magical Warrior", the architectural space is just an auxiliary to the scene. However, for people in the construction industry, is familiar with the reproduction of architectural scenes in the movie, which is an unexpected easter egg .
At the same time, whimsical movie universe reversed to the real world will create a sense of illusion that comes true.
" Blade Runner ": A heavy sense of futuristic
Stills of "Blade Runner"
In the general impression, the future universe is spliced with metal texture, light and fragmented, but the science fiction world created by "Blade Runner" is heavy, chaotic and obscure, which is closely related to the spatial atmosphere created by the architectural prototypes learned from it.
"Blade Runner" and the Central Art Museum scene comparison
The clear light band projection in the residence of Ando Tadao's Central Art Museum and Koshinomiya is one of the important sources of inspiration for the order space of "Blade Runner".
"Blade Runner" and Xiaoxiaodi's residential scenes comparison
The movie's transformation of the building is that the same light and dark elements can render a spatial atmosphere completely different from the original building under the adjustment of tones and scales. The slightly sharp light division in the gallery space has a hazy and illusory doomsday beauty under the softening of the movie.
When the movie scenes tend to be consistent with the architect's fantasy, the surreal science fiction idea has become the conceptual prototype of future architecture .
Future City Profile: Realistic Utopia
Movie " Metropolis " Stills
927 Since the release of the classic science fiction movie " Metropolis ", its fantasy of the future cities has provided a visual template for modernist urban design.The layered section of urban streets drawn by Corbett is based on movie scenes and imagines a high-density future society.
Corbett Urban Profile
The three-dimensional landscape and transportation system was still a utopian advanced fantasy at the beginning of the last century, but it has already been implemented in contemporary society.
At the same time, the reconstruction of the Corbett urban profile by movies such as "Batman" makes the film and architecture the origin and penetrate each other, forming an overlapping and extended loop whole.
02
Symbol and hint
Movies and architecture have a homogeneous language system. A certain type of space creation technique has become a symbolic atmosphere hint, thus narrating the plot with similar emotional atmosphere in reality and fantasy.
Trial and Gaze
Circular Prison "Panorama Open View" model
"Panorama Open View" concept was first proposed by Jeremy Bentham in 1787 in the concept of circular prisons, and it is a trial mechanism of hierarchical separation. Under the panoramic open vision model, the monitor and the monitor are located at both ends of the dividing line of light and dark, so that the dark places have complete control of the opposite light side.
Shaocun Salt Field Plan
The layout logic of the building actually indicates the oppressive spatial atmosphere. The circular prison and the Shaocun Salt Field planned by Ledu have a strict geometric order. The multi-layer circular radiation makes the proportion of the core and the periphery completely out of order, and the refined unit separation makes each auxiliary module have exactly the same scale.
In the movie performance, the open vision model often implies an imbalance in the power structure. The ruler deprives the ruled of the light and viewing power, thus allowing the society to operate completely in pre-set programs.
can extract the open-minded prototype in scenes such as collective domination, trial, and speech. However, some scenes are constructed in two-way scrutiny, and in some scenes, the party occupying the center becomes the object of being examined.
Stills of the movie "Entertainment Time"
In the movie "Entertainment Time", although the concept of circular open vision is not directly carried, the observer is located at a high place and the operator is located in a uniform unit grid, which also realizes the one-way gaze of the power party.
Movie " Back Window " Stills
"Panorama Open View" zooms to the scale of life. It can be a one-way mirror, or a peeping on one side in "Back Window". Open View pursues the irreversible flow of vision, which artificially puts the power structure in an unbalanced state.
sequence and end
When a space has the same or similar experience for a period of movement, the space has sequence nature. The sequence space can be a regular corridor, a narrow passage between plates, or a pilgrimage ritual ladder. The meaning of the existence of the
sequence does not lie in the repetitive experience itself, but in the end of the sequence . If the end is light, then the darkness of the preparation will be reasonable. Even if the end is just a corner, the existence of the sequence has the value of expectation.
Gui Laoshan/Kengo Kuma
Gui Laoshan observation deck designed byGui Kuma is buried under the mountain. You must walk through a long ladder to reach the final viewing point. The long-term visual depression before was prepared for the sudden opening of the end, and the grandeur of the end also eliminated the fatigue during the sequence walking.
forest cemetery
Swedish forest cemetery creates a sequence of landscapes. The strip-shaped arrangement of coniferous forest hints about a natural and sacred ritual space. The classroom at the end is both the end of the road and also symbolizes the rest of life.
In movie shots, the sequence space is often further extended to create an unknown and mysterious depressing atmosphere or a solemn emotional atmosphere combined with symmetric composition.
Movie " Shining " Stills
In "The Shining", the seemingly endless corridor connects almost exactly the same space. After the turn, there is another corridor, which makes the viewer's emotions have been suppressed in the unknown exploration and cannot be relieved. The appearance of the twin sisters interrupts the continuous sequence, pushing the tense atmosphere of the story to the pinnacle. In this scene, the truncation of the rhythm is the end of the order .
Stills of the movie "Budapest Hotel"
represented by "Budapest Hotel" Wes Anderson director Wes Anderson also frequently borrowed in the movie, but the depth of this space is weakened, and the extremely rigorous symmetric composition wants to highlight the pure aesthetic enjoyment.
upside down and collapse
In reality, some avant-garde and exaggerated buildings will create a sense of separation from the real world. In movies, the breaking and reversal of space are more common techniques.
Blue Sky Group Architectural Works
Blue Sky Group takes "architecture must burn" as the design declaration. The buildings under their hands are fragmented, distorted, but they are integrated. Every twist and every edge are a cry for inner desire. 's unrestricted appearance is actually a loud opposition to the silent world.
Luma Arles Tower/Frank Gehry
The Luma Arles tower designed by Gehry has been questioned by the outside world, but it has still become a new landmark in Arles, France. With wrinkled shapes and reflective surfaces, Gerry creates a country of different time and space. The building seems to be about to disintegrate, but it stands tall.
Movie "Inception" Stills
Movie " Number One Player " Stills
Bold spatial techniques can create dazzling visual experiences when enlarging it into the movie. The folding space in "Inception" and " Doctor Strange " shows the collision of architectural scenes in different dimensions; the future home of "The Number One Player" is like a reconstruction of ruins rising from the ground. Under the creation of the doomsday atmosphere, the collapse and re-emergence of buildings seem to be the norm of reality.
03
Narrative and branch
Bruno Taut's architecture has a strong narrative
Movies are actually the art of narrative. Under the influence of the image media, a new architectural form - narrative architecture was born.
When modernist architecture was not yet popular, the design of buildings often only focused on certain specific orientations, such as extremely exquisite planes or facades, strict frontal perspective, etc. However, these angles cannot be directly observed through the human eye, or once the human eye moves slightly, the originally carefully designed perspective angle will be fleeting.
Savoy Villa Enlargement of the movement space
In contrast, Savoy Villa Savoy Villa Trusts separates the stairs and ramps that were originally habitually hidden in the corners as architectural entities, and the stairs themselves do not assume aesthetic functions. The only value it creates is to make people move.
Therefore, Villa Savoy pioneered the sporty architecture, putting human experience at a height that is better than God's perspective . From then on, the narrative nature of the architecture has been widely valued by architects.
montage and architecture: Interference in continuous
Partenon narrative rhythm
The narrative of architecture can be unified, similar to one-shot in the shooting technique, or interspersed, splicing into multi-level narratives from different clips, which is very similar to the editing technique of montage.
In continuous narrative, due to the occurrence of random events and the mutual interference between events, the overall story structure is deformed. Although different branches assume different narrative roles, they still follow the evolution rules of the unified context.
Kuhaas Thailand Construction Experiment
Kuhaas once used montage to conceive a super-architecture city. A building consists of many different architectural segments. In the movement inside the building, completely different life scenes are connected to each other. However, since it is laid on a unified structure, the seemingly fragmented parts seem to be completely reasonable and unified.
Narrative architecture is the liberation of creative techniques. The setting of events and the movement of viewpoints breaks out of the limitations of the perfect picture, proving that the architecture can be fragmented, contradictory, and even hidden into the surface and detached from the shape.
04
Conclusion
The future world ruins built in the movie " Wandering Earth "
movie reproduces the damaged ruins and builds a future that has not yet been realized. What is written on the condensed screen seems to be the history of architectural evolution.
architecture prevents the movie from becoming a foundationless castle in the air. Only by experiencing a tangible experience can the same visual hints be achieved in different dimensions.
Therefore, the connection between movies and architecture is far more than simply creating each other. Movies are games of architecture, and architecture is movies of life.
