Master of Arts in Fiction and Entertainment
http://www.sciarc.edu/portal/programs/post_graduate/index.html
"What we think the world looks like is largely determined today by fiction and entertainment. Fiction is an extraordinary shared language through which we exchange ideas and engage with the world. The importance and power of media in the production of culture should not be underestimated. In contemporary life, new worlds are designed and experienced in movies, ad campaigns, videogames, viral Internet videos, or search engines. Given the vast array of media potentially available to the architect, it is both critical and urgent for the architect to widen the scope of practice beyond just buildings alone. Why shouldn't the architect design the next Hollywood blockbuster? Or the next virtual reality environment? Or the next political campaign? This program is focused on building new forms of architectural practice allied with the worlds of film, fiction, animation, marketing, games, and documentary. Working with world-renowned collaborators from these disciplines and embedded within the entertainment industry of Los Angeles, the program is designed to be a place where we extrapolate the present to tell new stories about the alternative realities of the 21st century."
