Abstract:
This research aims to use Bernard Tschumi’s
cinematic approaches to offer a different reading of
architecture in which architectural language is not
limited by precise and generative drawings, rather
the organic behavior plays a significant role. Space,
movement, and events are the main pillars of Tschumi’s
The Manhattan Transcripts, where conventional
components of architecture are broken down and
rebuilt along different axes. This paper addresses
architecture schools in Egypt that convey conventional
architectural methodologies to students in the form of a
market-driven intellectual economy without challenging
the presumed focus on form either through abstraction
or simulation. Eventually, the purpose is to introduce
the notations of experience and time for all forms of
intervention in the reading of the physical environment.
