A cinemap is a conceptual and visual tool that combines elements of cinematic storytelling and architectural drawing to represent spatial narratives and experiences within a built environment. It merges the dynamic and sequential nature of film with the precise and detailed representation of architectural spaces, creating a hybrid form of expression that captures both the physical and experiential qualities of a space.

Reinterpreting visual media into architectural drawing is a powerful practice that bridges the worlds of cinematic storytelling and spatial design, offering unique insights and creative possibilities for spatial designers.
Architectural drawings inspired by film can illustrate abstract concepts and design intentions in a more relatable and compelling way. This can aid in conveying the envisioned atmosphere, flow, and emotional impact of a space.
