PROMOTING RUSSIA’S CULTURAL LIFE
This project goes beyond the reconstruction of the facade of the building,
and aims to promote Russian cultural life from the inside out. While the
interior is used as a cinema, the exterior becomes the cultural landmark of the
city being used as an urban stage for everyone.
The outdoor stage is designed to host performances and public events,
including theater, film and fashion shows, sculpture, sound and light art,
dance, video and music. Lateral facades are designed unfolding the roof of the
building from top to bottom, creating urban stairs to reach the top, plus 2
exterior elevators that allow people to access the roof using it as an urban
balcony and a figure skating rink.
