The Pushkinsky Cinema redesign is the culmination of a 50-year journey that has seen a once very prominent building fall into disrepair and ambiguity. The clear and original simplicity and the beauty and elegance of the original expression has been lost, degenerated over the years, marred from age and blurred by multiple annexes and renovations. This marred shroud is removed and the cinema is given a new skin; a skin that is a symbol of a new beginning for the cinema and Moscow. This new skin complements the integrity and lines of the original design, while sculpting it into a new modern expression befitting of its status as a venue of the Moscow International Film Festival, and its importance as the center of Russia’s cultural life, and its status as a landmark of Pushkin Square.
The new facades will encompass the original structure, respecting the lines of the original facade and creating a new glowing skin constructed of frosted DuPont Sentry Glass integrated into a frameless Pilkington support system. These new facades will enclose a portion of the existing north and south balconies, creating enclosed exiting vestibules. These new spaces will be backlit with recessed floor and ceiling lights that will cause the entire theater’s north and south facades to glow and become a beacon to the city, announcing its rebirth.
The lobby’s glazing will be replaced with clear DuPont Sentry Glass in a frameless Pilkington support system allowing crystal clear views into the lobby space from the promenade.
Along the entire west exposure, a symbolic curtain runs the entire length of the building. The curtain is constructed of DuPont Sentry Glass fins supported with aluminum struts and tension cables that span from the aluminum-clad canopy above, to the balcony deck below. The glass fins are treated with alternating fretted and smooth sides, offering both solar protection and dynamic ever-changing views and reflections of the surrounding city and park. The curtain of fins are lit from recessed lighting in the floor below and ceiling above, causing each fin to glow in the evening becoming the opening night shafts of light announcing the theater to the city nightly.
