In this article, the spaces in which Le MĂ©pris hosts human relations and the emotional voyage of movie characters are to be investigated. Through this exploration, the movie and the way characters act are to be questioned, while the buildings are going to be analyzed in terms of their spatial order and the referential details having metaphorical relations with the script.
Applications of parametric design in urban planning
When discussing urban planning as a discipline, one must recognize the multifaceted and complex responsibilities it carries. There is no single ultimate goal within its objective but rather an array of ideas and strategies that should assist in shaping urban environments in a way that will meet the needs of the growing local populations while ensuring sustainability and resilience.
