Filming the City

- Urban Documents, Design Practices and Social Criticism through the Lens

Bag om Filming the City

Filming the City: Urban Documents, Design Practices & Social Criticism Through the Lens brings together the work of filmmakers, architects, designers, media specialists and video artists. It offers three prisms through which to examine and use the medium of film in the context of the city. It gives commentaries of particular films and their social and urban relevance; it offers historical and contemporary criticisms of both film and urbanism from conflicting perspectives; and it documents examples of how to actively use the medium of film in the design of our cities, spaces and buildings. Giving a sense of the diversity of interactions between the medium of architectural-urban design and the medium of film, Filming the City is ideal for readers from both fields. For those coming from a spatial design background the tropes and possibilities of film as a tool and a documentary medium will be explored. For those coming from a film-media background the multiple possibilities of film as a visual backdrop, narrative theme or conceptual tool will be examined.
