Abstract
This thesis studies the relationship and interaction between cinematic narrative and architectural narrative. Architecture and film have common threads that both disciplines study space, time, action and movement. The cinematic narrative connects shots from different time and space, while the architecture has a similar composition. Architecture is an important part of the film scene, creating the atmosphere, while the film inspires the virtual architecture expression. They influence and learn from each other. Regarding the research method, the first is to summarise the history of film and architecture and their interaction by literature review. Then, through case studies, analyse the narrative techniques of film and architecture and explore their mutual use. The second part of the thesis consists of an experimental space design based on murder stories. The aim is to explore how to use cinematic narrative approaches to create an architectural experience. It uses Alfred Hitchcock's films as references and the spaces where the murder occurred in his films as inspiration. Finally, create a tragic spatial experience that people can access a space where murders happen to experience the murder and feel the atmosphere.Description
