Film Architecture presents some of the manifold examples of the interactions and correlations among film, architecture, and urban planning. Concentrating on the depiction of urban visions in film, the exhibition introduces examples of the dialogue between film and architecture during the past seventy-five years in the form of sketches, paintings, models, photographs, and film clips from archives and private collections in Europe and the United States. These works, many of which have never been exhibited in the United States, help document the major roles of film architecture: as a reflection and commentary on actual contemporary architectural practice, as a testing ground for innovative, often visionary ideas, and as a realm for non-traditional approaches to the art and discipline of architecture.
