# Film Theory Architecture Eisenstein’s Story-Board Summerhouse is Based on a Video Editing Style By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-06-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storyboard-summerhouse References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/metris-montages-shifting-spaces-eisenstein-story-board-summerhouse-06-10-2014/) & [metris.gr](http://www.metris.gr/) Eisenstein’s Story-Board Summerhouse takes inspiration from an unlikely place: film theory. The design was done by [Metris Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southwand-house) using Eisenstein's idea of montage editing. When applying this style to building, the goal is to have viewers see each area of the house as a series of different clips, like one does when watching a video. "The form twists and turns, dancing along a main axis, guiding the user’s eye as it moves between planes, floors, and ceilings, like a camera shifting towards views of the basin’s flowing water and the waves of the calm sea," according to DesignBoom. Using film theory as a basis for architecture is certainly something new, but it works well with how Metris has approached this design.
