Abstract Details

2007, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
Architectural form can be influenced by sequence as used in cinematic approaches. Originating in the architecture of the ancients and continuing to the modern era, architectural sequences abided by a strict linearity. The linear, ceremonial path of the Egyptian temple and the Catholic Church, was the basis for architectural design. Upon the advent of the Situationist International, theorists began to investigate multiple path sequences. Borrowing from cinematic techniques, Modern architects applied these concepts to architectural theory and design. Specifically, Le Corbusier and Bernard Tschumi built on the works of Sergei Eisenstein, exploring the importance of the frame as a viewing device and conceptual tool in sequential spaces for design. Tschumi’s theoretical and practical work addresses the interaction between space, movement, and event. Architectural design must further the exploration of such concepts: accommodating multiple path events, and use formal devices to respond to their presence. This thesis studies the impact of movement relative to sequential space in architecture and proposes a methodology generated from theoretical and built precedents. The methodology sparks the design of a multi-modal interchange in Las Vegas, reflecting the influence of Bernard Tschumi’s Fireworks.
