Cinematic rhythmanalysis of architecture: mining moving images for post-occupancy studies
Faced with the impossibility of extensive post-occupancy studies to enhance knowledge of everyday rhythms in domestic environments, this article explores an alternative technique by tapping into the medium of fiction film. Holding at their core significant evidence of everyday life, fiction films may offer the potential to reveal how domestic practices vary between different demographics, cultures, seasons, building typologies, or times of day. This article discusses a pilot study of 106 fiction films, which were analysed via a new digital methodology involving systematic time-based attachment of meta-data in a searchable database. Utilising the ensuing cinematic data, several types of architectural rhythmanalyses are carried out as a starting point, and the concept of an architectonic of cinema is established through case studies. From the varying rhythms of everyday activities to cultural differences in the use of architectural elements, the article proposes a range of quantitative and qualitative insights achieved by strategic data mining of the global cinematic archive. It explores how cinema may reveal the ‘lived’ aspects of ‘lived spaces’ and hence offer architects a new avenue to more fully grasp the domestic everyday as architectural experience and interaction.
