In many occasions, researchers have gone through the mutual relations of film and architecture as standalone disciplines interacting to each other, or even showing how they have evolved and related through their own history. Nevertheless, the focus here is more on the spaces themselves, where the stories are told and lived, and paying special attention to those who, far from being friendly, produce a successful and strong sense of aversion or discomfort. By studying how the distinct movies have stated a deep sense of uneasiness or distress in diverse scenarios, whether real or imaginary, architects can get a better understanding of how our psyche reads the spaces depicted and transforms them into personal and profound experiences.
This publication is an academic production with the research for the elective course Arch 3308/6308 ‘What is a House?: Spaces of Discomfort’, instructed during the Spring Semester 2018 at AAP by Rubén Alcolea.
