Join Arcam for their monthly networking event, Barcam Architects Café, featuring a discussion on how architecture and cinema influence each other. This edition, #20, explores 'Set in Scene: How Architecture Shapes Stories and vice versa,' with a panel debate and a quiz on architecture featured in movies.
The Amsterdam Centre for Architecture (ARCAM) hosts its monthly networking event, Barcam (bar+arcam), designed for professionals in architecture, urban planning, and project development. The 20th edition, themed 'Set in Scene: How Architecture Shapes Stories and vice versa,' delves into the profound connection between cinema and architecture. The discussion will explore how film uses space as a narrative device and how architectural depictions in media can influence public perception and even urban development, with examples of buildings gaining popularity or becoming tourist traps due to their cinematic appearances. Panelists Inez de Coo, a film programmer, and Romke Faber, a production designer and teacher, will debate these themes. The event includes a short panel discussion, an interactive quiz testing knowledge of architecture in movies, and affordable drinks and snacks, with Holy Moly Pizza providing fresh pizzas on-site. Arcam is wheelchair accessible, with an elevator and accessible toilet facilities.
