Architectonics of Time (Hamid Amouzad Khalili)

 Latest addition to the Library page:

"The nonconformist and radical visual and representational culture presented by filmmakers like Tarr can decisively impact how the discipline of architecture deals with the tasks of observing, documenting and communicating. These films might not contain extraordinary spaces from a conventional architectural design point of view. Nonetheless, the contemplative nature of slow movies offers authentic and unprecedented aesthetic, socio-political and experiential perspectives on architecture. Slow films visualise spatial experiences that are not common in the mainstream. The obvious emphasis on spatiality turns the films into an untapped source of novel spatial techniques and experiences."
