#ICONICAL ARCHITECTURE IN MOVIES MOVIE#
The establishing shot of the Los Angeles of 2019 is one of most iconic scenes in the movie as it establishes the world of Blade Runner (Figure 11). After all most Science Fiction is about the quest to find one’s home or simply the reason to not be in one (Fortin, 2011). And the portrayal of home can give the readers a glimpse into the values shared by this estranged space. The home, according to Fortin is the most familiar physical location in an intentionally unfamiliar world. Forting in his book ‘Architecture and science-fiction film - Philip k Dick and the spectacle of home’ mentions an interesting aspect of analyzing Science Fiction film, the home. One may argue that a major component of a successful Science Fiction narrative is the portrayal of the Architecture rather than the portrayal of the characters and technology. Science Fiction Architecture shares similar estranging properties as Science Fiction literature. Identifying the ‘Novum’ of Science Fiction Architecture helps us understand the core ideas and concepts that affect their design decisions. Applying similar methods as used in creating a Science Fiction Architecture, implementation of a novum, analyzing the Architecture of Science Fiction film should allow identifying trends in architectural fiction and how they affect the narrative of the story.
