Course Description: This course explores the relationship between Architecture and the development of early and modern films. Students will look at the source and portrayal of architectural expression in film: precedents for imagery, its relationship to the development of early modern architecture, and its vision of the urban future. Contemporary and futuristic architecture will also be examined in recent films to study its expression of the vision of the future of urban built form.

Given that the term consists of 12 lectures maximum, and the final class will be taken by the showing of the film productions of the current term, each course will likely view 10 to 11 films, selected on the basis of the theme of the term.

The "plan" is to have a different selection each year, each with a different "theme".
