The Art, Architecture, and Cinema (AAC) seminar offers students the opportunity to engage in research-based creation on architecture, the city, or the landscape through the practice of filmmaking. Theory and practice are enriched by questions drawn from the fields of visual and narrative arts, as well as anthropology and philosophy, as they relate to architecture.
