Solaris is a film by the
russian director Andrej Tarkovskij,
that made the history of cinema of the 70s, a few
years after the construction of the Palace of Moscow International Film
Festival, the Pushinsky cinema, at the time known as one of the most important
of the nation.
At
this reference is inspired the concept for the new facade of the building:
taking a cue from history, but exploiting the potential offered by new
technologies, with the intention of creating a facade that was a symbol, that caught
the attention of passers, but at the same time that allows to remember the
glorious history of russian cinema.
So
the facade of the cinema that has made history in Moscow and in Russia in
general was thought in that way: retake the origins, traditions and bring them
to the present getting them actual, by creating shapes, colors and features in
accordance with images of twentieth
century.
In
fact the sphere placed at the entrance of the cinema not only recalls the
famous image of the movie's poster, but carries it in the present, transforming
it from a simple two-dimensional image, to a solid in three dimensions: as well
as in the cinema nowadays, where analogic films were replaced by 3D movies full of special
effects, the same appens to the facade of the cinema in Moscow. The proposed
project add the third dimension, the temporal one.
So
the new entrance of the cinema is configured like a cone-shaped tunnel that will
remind to colors and shapes of legendary interiors of space station naer
Solaris imaginated by Tarkovskij, as
well as the glazed walls of the facade, that will be covered by white panels
with circular windows similar to that ones present in the futuristic settings
of the film.
