Visual Narratives in Architecture
The relationship between architecture and images predominantly is associated with architecture photography of finished buildings, or earlier in architectural production process, with the construction of images through software-generated renderings and visualizations.
This lecture investigates the role of narration and images as a means of communication that is an integral part of the architecture, the built environment and public space. Architects, planners and visual designers apply visual narratives to articulate monumentalism and artistic concepts; to convey the identity of the user or owner of the building or space; and to specially and mentally orientate visitors and city dwellers.
