The aim of
transformation
If the void represents a more
valuable asset than the material that occupies the space in terms of
historical, social and cultural relevance, then destruction
can become a mean for the preservation
of historical heritage.
Some streets are closed and
others narrowed in order to physically connect Pushkin Square with
the park. Only the theater is preserved because it can serve the
purpose of being an instigator of social activity. The real value of
the theater lies on its ability to host the event.
The new face of Pushkin Cinema
is occlusion. A black corian prism is suspended on top of the cinema.
Unlike the theater itself, its purpose is not of a pragmatical
nature. It conceals the theater so that its presence
on Pushkin Square would not act as an over-privileged individual in a
place of collective significance.
The building is then perceived not as a cinema, but as an alien
figure reflecting the environment while floating in the middle of
the square... an anonymous mausoleum containing the archeological
vestiges of a soviet theater... a monument to memory.
While the outside is shaped as a
pure and nameless volume, echoing the empty space surrounding it, the
inside is impregnated by the presence of the theater. The material of
the interior space mutates to generate an atmosphere for the nucleus:
the outer foyer. Sunlight is projected to the inside of the box
through optic fiber, creating hybrid spotlights (natural and
artificial light). Translucent and textured lanterns that resemble
the plasticity of the organic emerge from the inner skin of the box
and illuminate the theater and staircase .
