Films Starring Architecture

Going to different places is the best way to discover great architecture to find inspiration. But there are occasions when we just don't have the luxury of time or a budget for traveling. Thankfully, there are other places to find great, innovative architecture: onscreen.

Some films have featured some remarkable structures and concepts that catch an architect's eye. Here are just some of the most impressive designs in a movie.


There are many ways fans can geek out to Star Wars, and architects are no exception. The exterior and interior of the Death Star alone can give birth to many ideas that draw from the futuristic style of the space ship. For more futuristic ideas, Tron and Flynn's Safehouse present sleek, minimalist and monochromatic concepts for your next design proposal.

The cinematography and art direction in Last Year at Marienbad provide a surreal setting that features chateau interiors, fountains, parterres, and topiaries co-mingling with other historic European sites and structures.

While others may be intrigued by the storylines of The Ghost Writer, the architect is bound to notice the posh, stony bunker style of the house fit for the laid-back but sophisticated gentleman.
