“Designing a space, developing it and bringing it together with its users is the basis of architecture and interior architecture as well as the art of cinema. Because, just as space is defined as a space with defined boundaries for architecture and interior architecture, it can also be defined as the place where the story takes place, in the simplest and clearest terms, for the art of cinema. However, these spaces are not only used in the art of cinema to create a background for the story told in the film; While these spaces, specially designed for the film, are sometimes used with symbolic meanings to contribute to the narrative, sometimes they are located at the very center of the event and form the core of the story.
 
The 1920 film, which forms the center of the study, Dr. In the movie Caligari's Clinic, the Germany of the period, the emotions people felt at that time, the poverty, pain and disappointments experienced are conveyed through the place. The film, which conveys the message it wants to give to the audience in an expressive language, is both a political and architectural archive and a source that creates the codes of horror cinema. How can human perception accumulate memories by perceiving a place and bonding with it, or survive there; the audience perceives the cinema space under these conditions and wants to establish a strong bond with it. This bond established; It can be with the period the place belongs to, the performance of the actor, and sometimes with the colors used intensely.
 
Dr. The dim lights, deformed surfaces, disproportionate structural elements, ergonomically uncomfortable furniture, and dark streets leading to the unknown in the movie Caligari's Clinic destroy the connection of the audience with reality and plunge them into an uncanny and fearful time and space. attracts. The audience, on the other hand, feels like they are in a nightmare or a nightmare while watching the movie because of these places. This sense of closure, which is felt by the film's locations, can be interpreted as the harbinger of Hitler's arrival according to some sources, the beginning of the horror genre according to some, and the most memorable element of expressionist art according to others. However, the most important thing is that these extraordinary film venues designed by architects, who we can call the avant-gardes of the period, have been a great source of inspiration for both the cinema industry and architecture.”
 
We congratulate our Deputy Head of Department, Tane Doğan, and wish him continued success.
