Symbiotic facade
Type
Pushkinsky cinema, as it currently stands has great
iconic value and architectural presence. The aim of our proposal is to design a
façade, which does not destroy its formal beauty but to add to it. We put
forward the idea of a symbiosis façade which seeks to provoke bold interaction
between the historical image and the new. It intends to give Moscow a landmark
without taking away the familiar, celebrating the tension between the retained
and the changed, through strategic use of form, light, space and material.
The proposal is achieved through the design of a
structure that seamlessly flows onto the restored landscape of concrete and
glass. The objective is to have an organic growth that emerges and merges into
the existent, always revealing a glimpse of the building’s history. This
intervention at first is scarcely visible in the square, growing larger onto
the steps and then gradually covering parts of the facade. It blurs the
boundaries between the Pushkin square, the grand steps and the cinema; forming
part of the urban fabric, stimulating playfulness and interest to draw in the
public.
Symbiotic Façade is an organic growth in the form of a
complex dynamic lattice like structure. It comprises numerous varying cellular
holes creating transient light qualities that change throughout the day as the
light washes over its surfaces. To achieve the fluidity of our scheme, DuPont™
Corian® is selected due to its hi-tech properties and aesthetics. Digital
Screens, displaying posters of featuring films will be mounted to the slanting
face on top of the Pushkinsky Cinema’s Façade.
Symbiotic Facade will be a landmark that will consciously
stand out against the surrounding baroque landscape, revitalizing the cinema’s
presence as the focal point of Russia’s cultural life.
