Cine-scapes explores the relationship between urban space; architecture and the moving image. While an impressive amount of research has been done with regards to the way in which architecture is portrayed in film; this book offers a new perspective....What happens if we begin to see the city as a place for an embodied visual consumption; a visual apparatus or; perhaps; a system that is based on movement; light and the body; and which we can explore in kinematic; kinetic; and kinaesthetic ways?Using film as a lens through which we look at urban spaces and places; Richard Koeck reveals the filmic and cinematic phenomena and spatial qualities that are present in postmodern landscapes; and which are perhaps otherwise disregarded or merely passively consumed. Drawing on the author’s extensive knowledge derived from architectural and film practice; Cine-scapes: offers insight into architecture and urban debates through the eyes of a practitioner working in the fields of film and architectural design emphasizes how filmic/cinematic tendencies take place or find their way into urban practices can be used as a tool for educators; students and practitioners in architecture and urban design to communicate and discuss design issues with regard to contemporary architecture and cities Cine-scapes ignites new ways of seeing; thinking and debating the nature of architecture and urban spaces.

Ive read it multiple times already. I really liked how the author paid attention to all of the band not just the stars. This would please casual readers; scholars; and musicians.
