Architecture, Film, and the In-Between Book Talk

In this new work of scholarship, three Pratt architecture professors contribute essays exploring the intersection of the radical ends of the architecture and film disciplines. Jason Vigneri-Beane explores ecology, machines, technology, and atmosphere through near-future scenarios; MJ Sieira examines social-cultural space in the work of French New Wave filmmaker Agnès Varda; and Eva Perez de Vega explores the moving image to reflect on its relationship to the body and what she terms huMan exceptionalism. All three essays read film through critical lenses in the discipline of architecture.
