Veil full of reflections
Type
In
the proposal, a shimmering filter is placed in a discreet distance from the
building's glazing façade, to maintain the integrity of the initial form and to
create a protected outdoor gallery that acts as an intermediate between the
public space and the interior spaces. The double character of the veil is
achieved through a pyramid-shaped component that populates its surface. Each
pyramid contains a transparent, a translucent and a reflective side to allow
visual connection, provide shading, and fragmentally mirror this vibrating part
of the city. All three sides of the component grasp aspects of the adjacent
historic buildings, the life of the square, the movement on the roads, the
change of sunlight, the flash from the cameras, and reflect them back to the
city, creating a façade constantly in motion from the pulse of the area. The illusion
is multiplied through the plaiting of the surface, which is introduced in an
attempt to maximize the brilliance of the façade and eventually metamorphose
the disintegrated building into a valuable jewel.
Seen
from the interior of the Cinema Hall, the same veil acts as a climate regulator
that improves the interior comfort through the sun-shadings and the created
buffer zone. Moreover, it enhances the social experience of the foyer spaces by
offering a peripheral semi-hypaethral gallery, which, although essential, is
missing from the current design. The proposed in-between space enjoys the views
of the square without the disturbance from traffic noise or the inconvenience
caused by rain or wind. Still further, it becomes the canvas for the playful
iridescences of light entering from the pyramid-shaped reflective units of the
veil.
