Beyond Four Walls and a Roof: Cinematic Architecture as a Medium for Self-Expression Part 2 Project 2024 Yongki Sunarta University of Hong Kong | China Architecture education serves a significant purpose in shaping future architects, but a crucial aspect is often overlooked: understanding one’s own architectural identity. Delving into architectural history and theory, we can find profound significance in the architect-house relationship as a means of self-expression, despite architecture being fundamentally about constructing a Primitive Hut.This personal thesis project serves as a reflection, redefining the architect’s role by weaving together narratives of the past, present, and speculative future. It is a bookend of eight years of study, work, practice, pride, and guilt, seeking to revisit the myth of the four walls and a roof.Revealing the profound significance of the architect-house relationship in shaping the creative endeavors of architects such as Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, and Rem Koolhaas within the realm of self-expression, the objective is to delve into the intricate connection between the client and their own house as the project, drawing parallels to establish a methodology that serves as a testament to a personal design statement. Integrating filmmaking, this process aims to revisit the concept of 'total work of art' in an age of mass production and compartmentalization, with the hope of yielding 'different' outcomes. Tutor(s)
