Earlier Thoughts on Film and Architecture

I would ask you to ask what it is about film and how you approach that genre that may have, or is, informing your architecture and sense of place-making. When I asked about memory, it was only because you had mentioned that word...if memory is something that intrigues you as well, then, i would ask: what is it that you are trying to negotiate with memory, film (or cinematic notions of event, as you mentioned what seemed to be prescribed series of events, or scenes) and the making of architecture. The idea of cinema, or more precisely, cinematic events as architecture has been explored a number of times, but what is it that is of particular importance to you and your making(s)? Why did you invest your prior time to cinema/film; what is it about the nature of making a film that continues to intrigue you? Or, is it the final product that provides the impetus for your architecture; the negotiation of the final product by the viewer(s) that informs architectural experiences, details, interrelationships, etc.? how does memory become a part of this, if it does? with or without it, the thesis can become something quite interesting and a successful device for your making(s). Additionally, in terms of your final product, what is it that you ultimately produce and how does it become embedded in the written text?
