In the twentieth century the naissance of cinema, wherein linear progressions are interrupted and manipulated according to the elastic properties of the medium, suggested new forms for architectural sequence. As a result Modern and Postmodern architects appropriated cinematic concepts to architectural theory and design. In particular, Le Corbusier and Bernard Tschumi explored the implications of the frame, an intrinsic component of cinema, as a viewing device and structure to order architectural sequences. The methodology adopted for the design of a ferry terminal in Boston, Massachusetts reflects the influence of Bernard Tschumi’s theoretical exercise, The Manhattan Transcripts, particularly “MT 4: The Block.” Represented in diagram, the interaction of space, movement, event and an additional factor, time, conveys the concurrent development and influence of four spatial sequences on the design of the terminal. 2006-10-03 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1155843083 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1155843083 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
