Atmosphere, Cinema, Architecture: Thematic Reflections on Ambiance
and Place explores cinema and architecture as ambient and affective
settings or circumstances that can enable the emergence of
atmosphere. This book is an interdisciplinary reading of
cinematographic practice which develops useful implications for
spatial composition in art and architectural design. The way a film
is set up, directed, composed, framed, and technically constructed
can provide parallels, analogies and metaphors for the spatial
organisation of cities, landscapes and buildings. Likewise, the way
a built setting is conceived and devised can inform approaches to
framing and spatial organisation in cinematography. The book begins
on a personal note with a series of recollected atmospheric
experiences, leading to an investigation of ambiguity and
consilient discrepancy as circumstantial conditions necessary for
the production of atmosphere. The mood of melancholia is explored
to show the pivotal role that ambiguity, discrepancy and
irresolution play in its distinctive ambiance. Atmosphere is then
defined as an emergent condition arising between an ambient,
affective circumstance and a mooded human being. The book then
moves to analyse the inherent conditions in the setup of filmic and
architectural settings that render them atmospheric. Reference is
made to the cinema of Bresson, Resnais, Lynch, Tarr, Malik and
Campion, and to Romanesque tympanae, the architectonic scenography
of Franz Kafka's novel The Castle and the work of Spanish
architects Flores Prats. The concluding section, Anatomy of
Atmosphere, is a lexicon of concepts, themes and tactics around
atmosphere that might usefully inform creative practice.
