Keywords:
Architecture, Cinema, Film, Storytelling, Narrative, Spatial experience, Architectural PromenadeAbstract
This paper explores the interplay between architecture and cinema from a narrative perspective, specifically within the context of Villa Savoye's promenade. The study aims to investigate how architectural design principles and cinematic storytelling techniques converge in creating immersive narrative experiences. Through an investigation of Villa Savoye's architectural features, cinematic adaptations, and the viewer's journey, this research sheds light on the ways in which narrative elements intertwine, enhancing the overall experience within spaces like Villa Savoye's promenade. By examining the concept of the architectural promenade as a narrative within cinematic spaces, this study uncovers how the narrative qualities of the promenade contribute to enhancing the viewer's experience. It explores the reciprocal influence and enhanced storytelling potential offered by the interrelationship between architecture and cinema. Through a comprehensive methodology involving literature review, case study, and visual analysis, this research provides insights into the dynamic interplay between these two art forms, further enriching our understanding of their reciprocal connection.
