Architecture and the image in movement

Abstract

Bruno Zevi published Architecture as space: How to look at architecture (Saper vedere l'architettura) in 1948. By characterizing the spatial nature of architecture, he finds its affinity with the cinematographic language through the articulation between time and image. This article presents the findings of a survey carried out at the video collection of the Architecture and Urbanism College of the University of São Paulo (FAUUSP). It investigates the current use of this language - considering its possibilities with the support of information technology - for the production, documentation, and diffusion of the knowledge of architecture and urbanism, and to employ these new resources in cinematographic language for teaching purposes.
