Panoramic views are accessible through camera phones, mouse cursors, and fingertips to due to developments in digital technology, which also support large-scale and immersive projections. In the early 19th century the desire to release art and paintings from the confines of a frame started a movement which still is alive today. The latest example is Yadegar Asisi’s creation of the ancient city of Pergamon as a 360º panorama in Berlin. This paper explores the relationship between scenographic design and tectonic architecture with the purpose of creating the illusion of unlimited spatial expanse; it will articulate a specific relational network between contemporary spatial and architectural understanding and its influence on subsequent developments in simulations.

Walk This Way: The Moving Panorama The canvas rolls open, as the viewers face the presentation, and a lecturer, accompanied by music and sound effects, narrates the journey the Moving Panorama. The experience can easily be paralleled with cinematography because it holds a similar level of engagement. The spectator is immersed in the proceeding. However, the role of the viewer has customarily been described as passive, suggesting that through physical inactivity the 'viewer' becomes a mere 'bystander' – incapable of fully experiencing the panoramic journey. On the whole, there are many articles, essays, and studies that address the fixity of display of the Moving Panorama, and the stationary 'trips' it offered its spectators. Yet, the issue of passive spectatorship is problematized by another – physical inactivity. The question thus becomes: does physical passivity suggest a 'passive spectator' whose viewing experience of the Moving Panorama is hindered? While some terms, like 'passivity' and 'experience' have yet to be explained, the simple answer is no. This research concerns itself with this assertion, and it is upheld by two central ideas: (1) it should not be assumed that mobility equals a 'higher quality' of experience, and (2) the Moving Panorama's paradoxical nature (that is, fixed progression of images) relies on the very perplexing notion of motionless bodies (the audience) moving only through gaze. While the discussion revolves around these points, and other interrelated ideas, this research also refers to the Pilgrim's Progress Moving Panorama as an exemplification of the propositions aforementioned.
Paper Cities. Urban Portraits in Photographic Books
The experience of reading a photobook is always a rich sensorial one: the weight of the book, its format, the tactility of the paper, the design of the page, the orienta- tion of the pictures on the double spread, they all in uence the understanding of the images the book contains. In the regular analysis of the photobook these material aspects are normally suppressed. The book itself, so it seems, is nothing more than a vessel that contains images and organizes them in such a way that a ‘story’, a ‘his- tory’, a ‘viewpoint’ unfolds. In my experience as a researcher of several photobooks on the city, however, I noticed that the material and formal conditions of the books were able to express an experience of the city that goes far beyond a mere visual description of it. As I will demonstrate in my analysis of two particular photobooks of avenues in New York the alliance between book (printing culture) and image (visual culture) made it possible for the photographic image to translate in visual terms the experience one has when strolling, walking, running through a street.
