One of our favorite ways to get inspired is by watching movies. We learn so much through all the different design elements incorporated into film…especially when a famous work of architecture is featured. In a movie the the architecture has a role and helps tell the story. Seeing people/actors live and move throughout a space gives us the opportunity to experience a completely new perspective.  Here are a few of our favorite examples of iconic architecture in film…
