The main
idea of the offered solution is transformation of Pushkinskiy cinema with preservation
of its original historical volume. Modern expressive elements 'sprout' through the
semicentennial structure, symbolically connecting the old and the new by means
of the shape and materials.
Such interpretation
turns the cinema from an ordinary architectural object into a real place of
interest ― a bright communicative dominant which evidences by its effective non-trivial
appearance that inside a modern eyeful ― the product of the new generation of
digital technologies ― is awaiting cinema connoisseurs.
In the
project the original building’s facades and galleries are blanketed with a
metal structure covered with white polymer Corian specially designed for
facades. Thin slots are glazed with transparent material SentryGlas. From the
side of the main facade the whole structure is supported with openwork treelike
pillars.
The project
was named 'the Ants' as from afar one can see on the light volume of the membrane
an interesting optical effect of the slots’ movement which reminds of running
ants.
