I'm sure this is a topic that has been covered quite a bit on this forum, yet I'd like to bring up the use of video in architecture/lanscape architecture. With more and more firms using 3D animations and design competition asking for videos, it seems like the fields of architecture and cinema are merging more than ever before. I'm not necessarily talking about cinema and architecture influencing each other, that has been a topic widely discussed for decades. What I'm talking about is how video/animation is helping designers present their ideas more effectively (i.e. B.I.G. http://bit.ly/nAYGoo). There is also the idea of using motion and video to create new spaces and experiences (http://bit.ly/nAYGoo).
Part of the reason I'm starting this conversation is because I have a new blog related to cinema and design: http://searchthecinescape.tumblr.com/
The other reason is to see what others out there think about this. Specifically students in school right now. I know schools like Columbia and Bartlett are pushing architecture and film/animation. Are there any readers out there from any of those programs or other programs which are experimenting with video? Would you like to? Do you see this as a trend or the future? Beyond the fly throughs so many firms have out there now, are there other ways people are using video and motion to push their creativity?
The Fountainhead is a 1949 American film directed by King Vidor, based on the best-selling book of the same name by Ayn Rand, who wrote the screenplay adaptation.
The film and novel focus on Howard Roark, an individualistic young architect who chooses to struggle in obscurity rather than compromise his artistic and personal vision, following his battle to practice what the public sees as modern architecture, which he believes to be superior, despite an establishment centered on tradition-worship. The complex relationships between Roark and the various kinds of individuals who assist or hinder his progress, or both, allow the film to be at once a romantic drama and a philosophical work. Roark is Rand's embodiment of the human spirit, and his struggle represents the triumph of individualism over collectivism.
