Analysis of architectural space and function in offret (the Sacrifice, Tarkovsky, 1986) film

This study is on architectural space and the concept of its function through analysing the film Offret (Kurban, Tarkovsky, 1986) at the intersection of cinema and architecture. This architectural space study, which is based on the interaction of architecture and cinema; examines 'space' both as a purpose or tool laid out through materials and products such as film, architectural structure, etc. Apart from examining the phenomenon of space in architecture and cinema, Andrei Tarkovsky's film Offret (Kurban, Tarkovsky, 1986), which can be defined as a representative of this phenomenon in original cinema, was chosen to concentrate the discussion on an example. The research is presented with the analysis of the 'human-space relationship' on the film Offret (Kurban, Tarkovsky, 1986) from the beginning to the end at certain intervals, on which the use and change of space will be observed, and how the space undergoes changes in line with the story throughout the film. While examining the physical dimension of the space in the research, the reason behind it and the fact that a space was built twice, when necessary, as well as the design of the space in two different ways (Real space and Set) also revealed how much importance Tarkovsky attaches to his interest in cinema and space.
