  It happens that sometimes a specific framed space catches our attention making us to stare at it. This action it’s difficult to explain in a first approach. It is linked to the emotions and to the imagination. This research is the study into the parameters of why a specific perspective can trigger our imagination. The interest in this topic started with the intention of relate architecture and cinema, wondering how spaces can become cinematographic and how much the perspective and composition of elements can play an important role in how the spectator gets the information. Why cinema? The cinema is part of the popular culture and very easy to refer to it, easy to recognise and to use it as an example. The analysis of the cinematographic references has enriched the analytical methodology, not just as a library of examples but also as a way of creating new ways of explaining. The analysis of cinematographic images helps to reveal specific spatial concepts that we don’t necessarily see. By training the eye to see these spatial characteristics in specific framed images, we are capable to recognise them in our surroundings. I am especially interested in those spaces that help things to remain hidden. I would rather choose to analyse an image with a semi opened door through which we can see a part of a kitchen than an image showing the complete kitchen. I believe that our mind completes the missing information that the image doesn’t provides, and then a potential narrative appears into the structure of the specific perspective. These research has grown into the consideration of the space that is being observed, the specific position of the observer itself and the awareness of these structure that could be witnessed by a second observer as an omnipresent spectator.
