About me
Aygul Abizgildina
Architectural Designer with a side of Cinematography
Architecture changed my perception of beauty. I am attentive to the signals and details of my surroundings, trying to explore, capture, and amplify them.
From that, I learned to explore the landscapes of my consciousness and create introspective imagery. My passion for architecture inspired me to learn skills in the representation of graphic design and digital programs. I continue searching for ways to push the boundaries of realism & capture a surrealistic illustration of the external world. At the age of 14, my parents sent me to the UK, where I started my education in architecture. After getting my Bachelor's degree, I decided to pursue a degree in film. It made me develop unique representation skills and helped me see beauty in space, color, and material.
I further expanded my knowledge of architecture by pursuing a master's degree in the USA. Here, | developed a more technical understanding of architecture, utilizing my skills more professionally.

Architecture and Cinema in my work.

watch my story

"Film replaced architecture as a form of art".
-Benjamin to Badiou.
My story began when I received a bachelor's degree in architecture and after I started a master's degree program, where I was engaged in a non-traditional degree - Architectural cinematography.
I start to use films to represent the design intent to the client. I want to continue to explore the perception of space and use short scenes to draw the viewer's attention.
The short film is an interview with me, conducted by Declan Gallagher, a film critic. The interview explores my unique approach to creating short experimental films that explore people's perceptions of architectural space. The focus is on how I started to bond architecture and film to create something truly innovative and inspiring. Viewers can expect to hear about my journey, techniques, and the inspiration behind my work.
My film explores how architecture and cinema can interact and enhance each other.
- I use filming in a dark room to allow the viewer to create their own image of the scene.
- Physical filters like mirrors and water can create unique perceptions of space, leading to fantastic effects in my films.
