This study aims to investigate the basics and relationship between architecture and cinema. The research method is descriptive-analytical using library sources. Like cinema, architecture flows within two dimensions of time and movement. Human perceives and imagines a building in her/his mind within different sequences. The design and construction of a building must anticipate and search for mutual effects and communication of people who pass by it. A building consists of continuous sequences-plans that the architect creates with cuts, framings, openings, and editing. If cinema is based on the judicial aspects’ connection of the subject in front of the camera in its most narrative form, the first joint chapter of the two arts of cinema and architecture would be the volumetric view of filmmaker and architect towards their works. Architect’s art is manifested in space shaping using the expressive tools of walls, ceilings, doors and windows, and façade. In contrast, the filmmaker's art is seen in space-making by using camera displacement techniques, Mise-en-scène, and relationships of elements inside the scene in the first step, which separated these pieces as an expressive and comprehensive generality.
