Architecture, and scenography, is an art. But they are both undoubtedly sciences. They require an in-depth knowledge of numerous technical and static issues, but also imagination, the ability to think synthetically and analytically, and excellent design perception. Both arts are dedicated to the creative synthesis of three-dimensional space - each, of course, for its own purposes. So is scenography simply an imitation of architecture or is it something more? What do we mean by scenography in architecture?

We address all these questions in our issue, which includes a bibliographical survey of the historical stages of the 19th and 20th centuries ,through which cinema and theatre passed, and highlights the architectural form they took in society. In researching and analyzing the general definition of scenography, we focused on film and theatre. First, we specifically refer to cinema, the filmic style of the time and the influences that modern Greek cinema received. What course did film scenography follow from 1950 to 1970?

In the course we discuss the relationship of architecture in the scenography of Modern Greek and European theatre during the same period. The movements that influenced it, the important scenographers who left their mark and their works as well as the stage setting. How does the theatre building change according to the evolution of architecture and its contribution to stage design?

Ultimately, what are the similarities and differences in the scenography of these two arts?
