The subject of this research is the use of architecture in sci-fi films, which are characterized by a particular design, focusing on real-world buildings and urban landscapes  that  were  used either as  they were or  different from their actual functions, acting as means of action and storytelling.
Furthermore, it is trying to detect the relationship and interactionbetween architecture and science fiction films, attempting to answer questions such as: how current, existing, flagship architectural buildings have contributed to the creation of a fantastic film space  and how they were "used" for this purpose or howsci-fi films inspired creative architects  to design buildings of a future world, acting as a form of "Jules Verne-architect".
During the research, representative films  of the genre  were studied, many of which include utopian and  dystopian  worlds, as well as colonization  of other parts of the universe, where people have brought their own history and home style. More than half of the films studied take place in a future technological Earth, while there are also films which either refer to a partially destroyed or post-apocalyptic world, or to another planet or space.
The films  which were eventually selected and  presented, illustrate the relationship between architecture and  science fiction cinema. Some  films are  presented  due to their innovative approach to the urban space, others for influencing the architectural design and some for their  uniqueconstruction.

In each movie, there is a  brief summary of its  story, which aims to describe the "world" and the "atmosphere" in  which it takes place. What  is more, a brief analysis of the architectural structure of the buildings or complexes that appear in these  particular  films  as well as a reference  to the  architects who  designedthem is presented. Finally, this research examines how these structures were used (whether or not they retained their actual use) and also how their "structural presence" affects the viewer's psychology.
