The idea is
to add it something that visually transforms its relation with the urban space,
without modifying the building, in order
to keep the possibility of the reversibility of the intervention. And something
also that doesn´t cover it completely, but confers a strong image, almost
iconic, in order to convert this
building in an important and recognizable
point of the urban space and in a notable place in the city.
It was
chosen the image of a smooth and black parallelepiped, with a large scale. A shape
that is recognizable on the cultural subconscious mind of the human beings. A
shape simple but monumental, strengthened with the scale, higher than the
Pushkinky cinema building. It is a strong image that appeals and communicates
with people.
However,
the parallelepiped is an emptied solid and transformed into what it is… a
scene. A scene that reveals that is a scene and thus becomes more truly. A
membrane or a screen, that allows to see what it is added to the building,
appearing from behind.
A screen that carries us to the subject of the
cinema. The screen announces the cinema all around. The screen communicates
that there is the cinema. A screen that testifies and remembers the important moments of the Russian
cinema and therefore is constituted…. builded….with blocks assembled with a
stereotomy that remembers a wall. And each block is a DuPont glass sheet,
“SentryGlas® Expressions™”,with a notable image of the Russian cinema printed
over black color in a filmstrip frame (a symbol of the cinema), on the
decorative interlayers. These images
appeals to the collective memory of people ..... bringing the cinema into their busy day life.
The glass
forms a membrane that works as stained glass, in tiles crossed by light, that
provide sensations, appealing to the senses. The glass membrane also seek to
delight people by their senses.
