Abstract: (9 Views) |
The connection between cinema and architecture dates back to the age of cinema itself. This connection has never been one-sided or separable, whether from the beginning of cinema when architecture served as the backdrop for film events, or in the period after, when architecture took on a significant part of the film's narrative. Cinema, as a means of defining space differently and having a non-physical presence in space, has offered a different quality of architecture. The film Lotte in Bauhaus, which narrates an important period of global architectural transformations and architectural education, expresses elements of this connection that both show the importance of the film from an architectural perspective and narrate the social events that led to the transformations in architectural education in the 1920s. These elements are divided into two groups: First, visual elements, which are the shared structural characteristics between architecture and cinema, and second, the events that, during the time period of the film's narrative (1920s), both influenced the social transformations of that era and led to the formation of the protagonist's heroic journey, and directly or indirectly affected architecture, architectural education, and the transformations of the Bauhaus school. This research, with a multi-part look at the depth of the film's story and the history of the 1920s, identifies the roots of these transformations. The method and analysis of the obtained data are in the form of latent content analysis, and the authors have reached conclusions through analytical diagrams and image analysis. |
