Perspective as Logic: Positioning Film in Architecture

Perspective as Logic offers an architectural examination of the filmic screen as an ontologically unique element in the discipline's repertoire. This book determines the screen's conditions of possibility by critically asking not what a screen means, but how it can mean anything of architectural significance.

Stefanos Roimpas (Athens, 1989) is an architect who recently completed his PhD thesis entitled Screen: The Intersectional Element of Architecture (2022) at the University of Cambridge with the supervision of Prof François Penz. His diploma project at École Spéciale d'Architecture-Paris (ESA) entitled The Lens City with the supervision of Sir Peter Cook was shortlisted for the RIBA Silver Medal (2013). He has previously worked for Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in Rotterdam and co-curated the Cyprus Pavilion, Anatomy of the Wallpaper, at the 14th Venice Biennale (2014).
