In this paper, a preliminary report is given on an architectural workshop entitled “Extended Cinematics: A Design Process Based on Architectural Interpretations of Narrative Film Structures” that was organized as a design experimentation platform for transforming film into architecture. Then based on structuralist semio-linguistic approaches to film analysis, and using the architectural designs resulted from the experiment, a mapping process that includes Design Derivation Diagrams surveying the transformation of narrative into architecture is introduced. Finally, using data from the latter diagrams, film-specific properties are identified to influence these transformation processes more than the design topics assigned to the participants.
