Cinema & Architecture was the topic of one of my researches in college,what a pity this book wasn't published back then!
It's a good collection of related articles though

مجموعه مقالاتی در مورد ارتباط دیسپلین معماری و سینما و تاثیرات این دو مقوله روی همدیگه.
کتاب به بخش های مختلفی تقسیم میشه که الگوبرداری سینما از معماری و بلعکس، بررسی فیلم هایی که زمینه ی معماری دارند و ....را مورد بررسی قرار میدهد.
مقالات بخش انتهایی کتاب که به استفاده مشترک معماری و سینما از نرم افزار های الگوسازی پرداخته از نظر بررسی تاریخی مطالب مفیدی داشت ولی بخاطر قدیمی بودن اطلاعات ارائه شده زیاد کاربردی نبود.
