"In a building, everything must be formed, but a great building, like a great movie, presents more than Form, more than Visual Effects. A great building presents Visual Ef9ects. That silent 9 stands for Story." Jef7rey Hildner, Visual Ef9ects ARCHITECT JEF7REY HILDNER turns again to the cinematic metaphor of chess to bring his theory of architecture to life. Architecture is a chess game of Form & Story waged on the battlefield of a building and its site, he proclaims in his 9-point Visual Ef9ects Manifesto. An award-winning screenwriter as well as an award-winning architect, Hildner transposes insights from the arena of story architecture to his parallel arena of building architecture, expanding on signature themes and concepts that he laid out in his book Daedalus 9. Visual Ef9ects reflects his quest to design buildings that present a creative demonstration of the Chess Game of Art, where the White Army of Form (Aesthetics) and the Black Army of Story (Symbolics) battle for our mind and soul and heart&;Form & Story fight to create a heart-pounding work of art. Visual Ef9ects springs from the author' s talk by the same title that he gave in 2016 for the Symposium on Formalism at the Syracuse University School of Architecture Program in Florence.
