Abstract
In this article, the sense of place in cinema and architecture and their mutual influence on creating a desirable atmosphere have been investigated. Architecture and cinema both create space and spirit of life and in the process of perception of space and sense of place, they both adhere to common principles. Architecture, in a way, is one of the oldest forms of human art, and on the other hand, cinema, as a contemporary art, is, according to many, comprehensive of all arts. The harmony and balance, which is pleasant and beautiful for humans in everything and gives them peace, is fully evident in art, cinema and valuable architectural buildings. The relationship between cinema and architecture is in the movement and sense of fluidity in the place. Factors such as continuity, continuity, rhythm, repetition and geometry in understanding the sense of place in space, which are important features of architecture, are also manifested in cinema. In another way, it can be said that humans play an important role in the centrality of both issues. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and the method of collecting information is library-comparative. In this article, after defining the sense of place in cinema and architecture, the relationship between the two and its use in the building of Villa Sava by Le Corbusier and the inspirations taken from it are mentioned. The aim of the research is to reveal these connections in order to improve the spaces created in architecture and cinema.
