The Third & The Seventh: An Architectural Dreamscape

 The Third & The Seventh is an artistic, soulful full-CG animated short film by Alex Roman.  The film illustrates architectural art from a photographic point of view, where the main subjects are already-built spaces, sometimes in an abstract way, sometimes surreal.  It’s the Avatar of the unheralded archviz genre, a video design niche that produces visualizations of architectural projects for firms and developers.

The film is an exploration of architectural design that exploits the freedom of 3D virtual space, treating the viewer to a new and magnificent way of appreciating one of the most heralded of arts.  The somewhat ambiguous title refers to a philosophy of aesthetics that proclaims architecture and cinema as the third and seventh pillars of art respectively.
