At the intersection of rapidly advancing technological progress and artistic expressions, "2001: A Space Odyssey," directed by S. Kubrick in 1968 and presented as a cinematic adaptation of A. C Clarkes' compelling narrative, "The Sentinel," is an original science fiction film that delves into profound aspects of human evolution, technological advancement, and artificial intelligence. The film is built upon groundbreaking visual innovations and depictions of futuristic spaces and life. In this article, the science fiction film "2001: A Space Odyssey" is examined through the lenses of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), kinetic architecture, and artificial intelligence (AI) developments that emerged during the same period. These analyses aim to uncover how futuristic themes and technological predictions from the film interact with contemporary architecture and related technologies. Thus, the article seeks to reveal the potential impacts and influences of the film on contemporary architecture, as well as its manifestations in the present day. Additionally, films released in subsequent years that explore similar topics are provided as examples. Theory, visualisation, and modelling continuously nourish each other. By integrating science and art, films also demonstrate ways to make visionary contributions to the future. When examined from this perspective, the film reveals itself as a source of inspiration for many architecturally designed, constructed, or equipped high-tech structures. In conclusion, cinema's narratives inspired by science can provide visionary contributions to the present and the future.
