The architectural promenade as narrative device: practice based research in architecture and the moving image

Abstract

This paper aims to make transparent the new and complex field of practice-based research within the context of architecture and the moving image. Following some general considerations derived from the wider context, it concentrates on a case study of a particular example: the architectural promenade as moving image narrative device. The paper cites the case historically and theoretically, and covers pertinent issues of narrativity and space within moving-image practice. It then describes the central experiment, analysis, testing and trials, and formulates conclusions regarding the use of plan and section in moving image architectural exploration and representation and the importance of the human eye. It also emphasises the key role of the human body in composing the storyline.
