Summary/Abstract: This paper includes an exemplification of the potentials of the combination of two disciplines, cinema and architecture in a philosophical discussion base through a workshop experience. The workshops, providing flexibility and an experimental environment outside the traditional education curriculum, offer an opportunity to experience new approaches in a free framework. Sine-Design Workshop, which is the subject of the article, has been carried out with undergraduate students within the frame of the National Symposium on “Architectural Design Education: Integration 2” organized by Yıldız Technical University and is an example of a new way of thinking as well as being a method proposal for similar workshops. Within the scope of this workshop, the students discussed the cinema-architecture duo with a historical perspective, followed by a screening of Christopher Nolan’s “Inception”. They identified the concepts raised through the use of space in this film and redefined the concept of space based on this representment. In the last step, they carried out their designs with two and three-dimensional expressions that exemplify their own specific spatial definitions.
