Montage In Architectural Design

Since the first film was brought to our life over one hundred years ago, films have been changing the humanbeings and their perspectives with which the observation of the world they live in are made. Architectural design came into the film industry as the scene design assistant and became an essential part. In turn, the particular logics of the films are also exploring new fields for architects. With the films being a mode of transmission of construction, the development of virtual building is much faster than physical construction. It can be said that there has been a connection between film and architecture for a long time, and architecture can not escape the world filled with visualized film logics.Film convey information by organized lens of different time and different spaces. Architecture enjoys a great similarity with films, the experiencing of an architecture is also a going through the organized sequence of different spaces. A comprehensive and in-depth theory of montage has been established in film, but there is no such thing in architectural design. So an injection of montage into architectural design will certainly arouse brand-new inspirations for architects.With the mini hyperlinks from montage, people can contral time easily: "fast forward", "rewind" and even "reverse", and digital technology dramatize the experience of film in the end of 20th century. The concept of space and time has developed from simple linear time to multi-dimensional. The classical theory of building is a study of three-dimensional, it tend to be four-dimensional in modern and contemporary architectural theory, could architectural design grow up to be multidimensional and realize the hyperlink of time and space as the film makers do?By comparing the spatial form of construction from the organization of film lens, analysis of how to use montage in an architectural way and discussion on the super-order and nonlinear in architectural field are made in this thesis.
