Résumé:
Although a few among us are intrepid architectural tourists, visiting buildings and landscapes our cameras at the ready, most of us experience architecture through the windshield of a moving vehicle, the architectural experience reduced to a blurry and momentary drive-by. And the rest of our architectural "tourism" is through the images of cameras, movies, and television programs—that is, through the lens of another's eye. Architectural historian Mitchell Schwarzer calls this new mediated architectural experience the "zoomscape." In this thought-provoking book, he argues that the perception of architecture has been fundamentally altered by the technologies of transportation and the camera - we now look at buildings, neighborhoods, cities, and even entire continents as we ride in trains, cars, and planes, and/or as we view photographs, movies, and television. "Zoomscape" shows how we now perceive buildings and places at high speeds, across great distances, through edited and multiple reproductions. Nowadays, our views of the architectural landscape are modulated by the accelerator pedal and the remote control, by studio production techniques and airplane flight paths. Using examples from high art and popular culture - from the novels of Don DeLillo to the opening credits of "The Sopranos" - Mitchell Schwarzer shows that the zoomscape has brought about unprecedented and often marvelous new ways of perceiving the built environment.

Résumé:
The city is one of the greatest unsung heroes in cinema -- a modernist inspiration for silent classics such as Metropolis (1926) and a dense urban jungle in The Matrix (1999) -- yet there have been few attempts to grasp the cultural and aesthetic nature of its role in film. This volume is an ambitious collection of writings and photo-essays discussing this complex yet enduring relationship, and how early cinema, digital technology and changing urban geographies have all impacted upon notions and representations of the modern city. Amongst the films discussed are Peeping Tom (1960), Performance (1970), Sans Soleil (1983) and Amores perros (2000). Contributions come from the fields of film studies, cultural theory, architecture and design, as well as filmmakers Patrick Keiller and Chris Petit. Andrew Webber is Reader in Modern German and Comparative Culture at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. He is the author of The European Avant-garde (2004). Emma Wilson is Reader in Contemporary French Literature and Film at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge. She is the author of Cinema's Missing Children (2003) and Alain Resnais (2006).

Résumé:
In this illuminating and provocative survey, Stephen Barber examines the historical relationship between film and the urban landscape. "Projected cities" looks with particular focus at the cinema of Europe and Japan, two closely linked cinematic cultures which have been foremost in the use of urban imagery, to reveal elements of culture, architecture and history. By examining this imagery, especially at moments of turmoil and experimentation, the author reveals how cinema has used images of cities to influence our perception of everything from history to the human body, and how cinematic images of cities have been fundamental to the ways in which the city has been imagined, formulated and remembered. The book goes on to assess the impact of media culture on the status of film and cinema spaces, and concludes by considering digital renderings of the modern city.

Résumé:
Ce programme d'étude intensifest avant tout un atelier de recherche expérimentale misant sur la méthodologie et l'exploration pour développer une architecture nouvelle. Les «ateliers de recherche» proposent habituellement l'analyse comme méthode de design, et s'appuient principalement sur les processus de collecte d'informations, d'analyse et de synthèse que l'architecte entreprend, dans les premières phases de la conception du projet, pour structurer visuellement sa pensée et son interprétation d'un contexte donné. Ceci permet aux étudiants de l'été 2007 d'établir un nouveau regard et de créer un imaginaire tout en contribuant à la connaissance générale du sujet. Étant donné la complexité et l'envergure du thème et les contraintes particulières de ce court programme d'étude, le choix d'une méthodologie linéaire assez souple et ouverte à l'exploration était de mise. L'objectif de cet atelier est de proposer des architectures radicales.

Résumé:
Dark Places" explores the dim, claustrophobic interiors of haunted houses in horror movies, as well as the cinema auditorium itself, and their relation to the 'dark places' of the human pysche. Barry Curtis looks at the long, blood-soaked history of horror films: their fascination with re-animating the dead; the special effects, both sophisticated and crude, which have been contrived in order to bring spirits into the realm of the living; the structures, projections and architecture of horror movie sets; and the complex metaphorical life of 'ghosts' as harbingers of loss, amnesia, injustice and vengeance. A wide range of films is also discussed in which the 'haunted house' is reworked in new scenarios - the road, the apartment, the motel, the spaceship - and visually linked to the troubling archetypes of Gothic fictions. Barry Curtis is Emeritus Professor of Visual Culture at Middlesex University, Fellow of the London Consortium, and Visiting Tutor at the Royal College of Art. He has written widely on film, architecture, art and visual culture for magazines, newspapers and journals.

Résumé:
''Dance in Herland'' surveys artist Luka Yuanyuan Yang’s cinematic oeuvre, including her feature-length production Chinatown Cha-Cha and five short films centered on diasporic Chinese communities. The book picks up where the films end, serving as both a reflection and a complement, while also creating a new narrative. Over nearly a year of editing, we felt like revisiting 20th-century San Francisco and Cuba, tracing history through the neons of Chinatown and the echoes of Cantonese opera. For the dancers and performers documented in this book, their bodies act as living archives; their memories and unspoken emotions may be concealed in their steps, fingertips, and gazes.
