The Pushkinsky Jewel
Firm
Type
The Pushkinsky Jewel: At the heart of the Pushkin Square is a glass ‘jewel’ box, a rare opportunity that exists at The Pushkinsky
Jewel to produce both collective synergy and individual identity, enhancing the
potential for collaboration while retaining the unique signatures of the Walk-around Gallery and the cinema. The building envelope can be materialized
as a functional, beautiful weather barrier that simultaneously welcomes,
shelters, and displays the cinema within. Yielding an environmentally-protected
public space, this architectural strategy also serves to create a coherent
urban identity for the Pushkinsky Cinema that can accommodate any of the viable
institutional mixes identified by our study.
Having
maximized the building’s footprint, but without an additional site development
cost, the maximum amount of the cinema’s budget can be earned from the credible
public commercial space in the form of an interior Walk-around Gallery, giving
Moscow citizens and visitor’s uninterrupted panoramic views of the landmark
square.
Clad
in DuPont™ SentryGlas® structural interlayer glass, The Pushkinsky Jewel reflects the surrounding
period buildings and the landmark square, while further reducing thermal loads
and interior glare, optimal for the flexibility of cinematic production and
visitor experience. During day and night, the glass facade shifts with the
dynamic swings in weather, creating a jewel-like object that reflects the Pushkin
Square.
By
avoiding convention and searching for responses specific to the demands of the
Pushkinsky Cinema, an unexpected and icon building emerges that is the
embodiment of performance, form and function, a testament to the legend of Alexander
Pushkin.
