Pushkinsky Portal
"Pushkinsky" cinema situated on the
cognominal square is an architecture reflection of its epoch. Great number of
premieres has been held in it and it received millions of spectators.
Today we indwell the other epoch. Our time is very
dynamic and many-sided. And will rightly leave an imprint on architecture. It's
suggested by our project to carry movie viewing beyond the scope of cinema
walls. Together with standard method of film projection it's suggested to add
two more external screens with tribunes. Screen being a part of new cinema's
form gives dynamism to the general image. Embracing by its action surrounding
area involves passing by people. Thereby the surrounding square becomes a part
of cinema.
According to the project the form of
"Pushkinsky" cinema has to stay in original appearance. But in the
same time the new cinema - "Portal" - is placing on the same place.
These two different by form, structure and operation method, but common in destination
cinemas share one square. Situated in one place as if they take no notice of
each other, but eventually generate a new architectural form.
The name of new "Portal" cinema is the
reflection of its function: to attract spectators and be a buffer area between
the square and the "Pushkinsky" cinema. By its grandiosity it imbues
coming to it spectator with anticipation of forthcoming action.
The structure.
The "Portal" cinema represents an inclined space
structure, having two mighty supports from the both sides of acting cinema. The
front surface of this structure is a light-emitting diode screen. The screen is
represented in the form of long and narrow plates, which can rotate on the
principle of pergola. This construction also complements the awning function
under the cinema's entrance area. On the second screen as to the advertising
clips of current and coming movies and different kinds of films can be
demonstrated. From the both sides of the central steps the constructions-
tribunes are placed. In capacity of spectator's seats are foreseen deck chairs,
providing propitious corner of movie viewing. Along both sides two additional passages
and noise-protective transparent barrier enclosing the tribunes from the carriageway
are placed.
On the every side elevation the supporting structures
are situated. In their structure the flight of stairs leading to the second
opened hall for movie viewing in the evening time are placed. There are
spectator's tribunes of the second cinema under the screen of the first one.
"Pushkinsky" cinema is suggested to be sewed
round by the material … of pale grey color, and also replace the current glass leaded
pane on frosting coating with diffuse reflection. It will give integrity to the
old cinema and emphasize the contrast of form and the new construction.
