The
Pushkinsky cinema was designed as a building that brought life to Pushkin
square. The experience of attending a national cinema was seen to include not
just the act of watching a film but also the activities and excitement of the
public space beyond. The building rightly imposed itself on the surrounding
space as the self confident symbol of Russian cinema that it was. This proposal
seeks to return the Pushkinsky to that position with an even bolder gesture
than the original architects made. It subverts the minimalist gesture that the
original cinema made, subsuming it with a more honest expression of the
reflexive and diverse tradition of Russian cinema.
Russian
cinema as a whole has never had a single, ubiquitous narrative but rather has
expressed the nuances, rich contradictions and intellectual wealth of the
country’s history. The proposal emulates this spirit as well that of the
frequent bravery with which Russian directors have lead and predicted changes
in society. Reflecting this, the design maintains the original form of the
cinema whilst boldly attaching a very different structure that shifts its focus
and makes for a less insular building. References to various historical Russian
artistic styles are evident. Importantly,
the new structure doesn’t seek to present a monolithic shape, but rather
reveals its daring structure and layered construction. It aims to be a new
symbol of national cinema.
