Abstract

Joaquim is an eight-year-old boy who is about to win a little brother. On the night of the baby's arrival, he stays home alone and receives an unexpected visit from the little alien Mika, who falls from the skies right into his garden. "Hello! Is anybody there? ”, By Norwegian author Jostein Gaarder, gives rise to the adaptation for a short film of the same name. Here, the house represents in its formal composition an expression of that look, and developing it is the key point of this project. To create Joaquim's house, some study steps were necessary. Firstly, an investigation of the architecture / cinema relationship, focusing on the route and the relationship between these two artistic languages, studying the montage by Sergei Eisenstein and the architectural promenade by Le Corbusier. Houses on and off the screens also served as inspiration. And, finally, everything was stitched together from the child's perspective and the relationship of two-dimensional drawing as a form of expression that is closely related to that of cinema and its concept of montage. The scenario is the final result of the work, and arises from the script as a program of needs for the ambience of the house, and from Joaquim's relationship with the world.
