Architectural fiction seems a bit more durable to me, and potentially more influential. Contemporary architectural criticism by Geoff Manaugh of BldgBlog is the latest iteration of this idea. In this recent piece, Manaugh critiques a building through a more fictional voice, and the speculative nature of the writing suggests some new possibilities for architectural criticism.
I was just gonna post NM from Halo 4 and Halo ODST but you beat me to it. The height, geometry and thinness of the buildings was excellent. There is a city in Halo: Reach which is equally interesting.
P.S. The sky tree city concept from Halo 2 (which was unfortunately scaled back before the final release) was also very interesting and more unique.
Since the dawn of filmmaking in the late 19th century, there has been a constantly evolving relationship between the age-old art form of architecture and the relatively modern medium of film. While many films utilize architecture to provide a sense of place through establishing shots, a number of filmmakers and directors have used real and fictional architecture as a means to convey moods, emotions, and ideas to the viewer.
