Material and Lived Space cinema constructs spaces in the mind, creates mind-spaces,

reflecting thus the inherent ephemeral architecture of human mind,thought and emotion

The mental task of buildings and cities is to structure our being-

in-the-world and to articulate the surface between theexperiencing self and the world.

Lived space resembles the structures of dream and theunconscious, organized independently of the boundaries of physicalspace and time.

Lived space is always a combination of external space andinner mental space, actuality and mental projection.

In experiencing lived space, memory and dream, fear and desire,value and meaning, fuse with the actual perception

The Mental Reality of Place

Place and event, space and mind, are notoutside of each other.

Architecture gives the cinematic episode its

ambience, and the meanings of the event are

projected on architecture.

Stage of Fear

Architecture, as a resonator or amplifier of

mental impact

Applying metaphysics of fear andmelancholy

architecture directs human intentions,

emotions and thoughts by means of the

hallucinatory air which it awakens

The Architecture of Erosion

empties a building of its emotional content

prevents the viewer from projecting his/her

positive emotions onto it

fills it with terror

The normal architecture of our time hasstandardized emotions by eliminating the

extremes of the spectrum of human

emotions: melancholy and joy, nostalgia

and

ecstacy.

allows erosion and mold to

corrode the walls, rain penetrate

the roof and water flood the floor,

takes away the building's mask of

utility, which addresses our

reason and common sense.

Learning from

German Expressionist Film

Shadows and silhouettes were an

important feature of expressionism

The story lines matched the visuals interms ofdarkness and disillusionment.

Often sombre in mood and featuring

characters from a corrupt underworld of

crime, the films' dramatic effects produced

motifs ofclaustrophobia and paranoia
