CINE-MOIRE: CHANGING THE FACE OF PUSHKINSKY THEATER
Type
Our proposal for the historic Pushkinsky
Theater creates a programmatic envelope for the existing volume that expands
the territory of the theater into a series of enfolded layers and surfaces that
connect the building enclosure to the plinth on which it resides and out onto
the landscape of Pushkin Square itself.
The shifting angles of the new envelope knit together the two axes in
the public space of the square: the
building’s frontal alignment with the park, fountain and Pushkin statue and its
diagonal relationship to the Boulevard Ring angling away from it.
Enfolding the plinth, secondary stairs and
central grand stair generates more connections to the ground plan that allow
the building to connect with street life and the public realm of the
square. These new surfaces provide
exterior sheltered spaces for gathering that become sites of projection,
sources of illumination, and conveyors of graphic information that create a new
context for engaging auxiliary cinematic and cultural programs.
Extending the territory of the theater into
Pushkin Square allows for an expansion of the program into the urban
scale. The grand stairway becomes an
amphitheater for viewing live performances, film screening or simply the
everyday theater of the street. An
outdoor stage is configured as a detached frame that is positioned in the
square to act as the armature for screening events. Its outline creates a floating picture plane
that delineates the new institutional image of the building and the public
space of the square as its spatial counterpoint.
The new outer envelope is to be clad in a
laminated assembly of Dupont Sentry glass backed by translucent Dupont
Corian. Each glass layer is surfaced
with a with a different dot screen pattern using Dupont Alesta powdercoatings that
together produce a moire effect that echoes the shifting angles of the
massing. The new inner enfolded facade is constructed
entirely out of laminated structural Dupont Sentry Glass, each layer fritted
with a dichroic film that continues the dot screen moire. Dichroic film, a material that projects color when light
passes through it, not only references the traditional medium
of motion pictures but also provides an interactive experience of changing
lighting effects based on vantage point and time of day.
