Site & Sound is an event series that explores the relationship between architecture and film. Each session will feature curated clips and short films around a chosen theme, inviting discussion around particular elements of representation and the different techniques employed by filmmakers. Themes will examine a multitude of perspectives on architecture, ranging from varying building types to their individual component parts and how these are interpreted by the viewer as they see the world through the lens of the built environment.
The fourth iteration of the series will delve into the art of World Building, exploring the ways that writers, directors and set designers craft imagined landscapes that extend far beyond mere backdrops. They shape narrative and deepen our understanding of the worlds they inhabit. From towering dystopias to intimate domestic spaces, architecture in film becomes a storytelling tool in of itself - evoking emotion and placing characters within environments that both define and challenge them. Drawing motifs from the ‘real’ world, filmmakers reimagine familiar structures to construct new realms, offering us insight not just into their own stories but also our relationship with the spaces we move through every day.
Speakers include:
Nada Maktari, designer and architect
Will Wiles, author and critic
Adam Richards, architect
