Mapping the City: Cities and Cinema
This course examines the relationship between two forms of mapping the city: cinematic representations of urban space and architectural representations of urban form. The seminar will focus on city imagery and architectural entertainments by examining different methods of framing the city through travel, in the theater, through the invention of traditions, at the museum, from the cinema, or through its architectural composition and spatial configuration.
