Architecture Filmmaking by Igea Troiani (Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University)

Unlike other books on architecture and film, Architecture Filmmaking investigates how the now-expanded field of architecture utilizes the practice of filmmaking (feature/short film, stop motion animation and documentary) or video/moving image in research, teaching and practice, and what the consequences of this interdisciplinary exchange are. While architecture and filmmaking have clearly distinct disciplinary outputs and filmmaking is a much younger art than architecture, the intersection between them is less defined. This book investigates the ways in which architectural researchers, teachers of architecture, their students and practising architects, filmmakers and artists are using filmmaking uniquely in their practice.

Dr Igea Troiani is an academic, architect and independent filmmaker teaching at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. She is co-editor of The Politics of Making (2007) and is founder and editor-in-chief of the international award-winning journal Architecture and Culture, Routledge.
