Filming architecture comes to Lisbon, Portugal! This is an academic itinerant workshop about architecture representation and narratives through cinematography, and will be part of the closing activities of the 2016 Lisbon Architecture Triennale. As the final product, students will produce a short movie filmed at a Museu dos Coches, a paradigmatic building designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha and Ricardo Bak Gordon.
Students will come into contact with the basic techniques of digital cinematography, with a special focus on architectural representation. The film’s argument and script will be developed within the group, as a critical observation of the site’s architecture, as either documental or fictional-narrative approach.
Filming architecture is an itinerant workshop about architecture representation and narratives through cinematography, organised by Gabriel Kogan, Pedro Kok and Priscyla Gomes. Based in São Paulo, Brazil, filming architecture ran a pilot 2-day workshop with architecture students from Mackenzie University at Lina Bo Bardi’s Glass House. Pedro Kok and Gabriel Kogan have also worked together in films for Studio MK27, such as This was not my dream and Textures and Ants.
