Competition: Changing the Face: Pushkinsky Cinema Hall, Moscow 2011

 





Submission Entry for Changing the Face: Pushkinsky Cinema Hall, Moscow*

2011

Shortlisted and exhibited in Central House of Architects, Moscow, 08-20.05 2011 

With Arzu Kuşaslan and Burak Akpulat 

*The renderings were developed after the competition

The construction of the narrative is achieved by juxtaposing two different materials that form two layers around the building. The first and inner layer of the floor border is covered with an acid-etched Sentryglas interlayer comprising 2 m x 2 m panels with aluminum profiles throughout the building from the façade to the roof. The second layer of Teflon-coated fiberglass structure surrounds the first layer. These two layers converge and intersect at various points. A translucent fiberglass structure is a 3D-dimensional coating with controlled LED sensors that control light conversion during the day. The Red Narrative acts as a dynamically shaped narrative, changing from a transparent color to a slightly red color until the moment of the event. The depth of the red color of the structure shows the start time of the event. When the building turns red, it means the event has started and everyone has gathered. The building describes a visual and sensory perception of getting together for an important event and is visually visible to the audience, passers-by, and residents of the neighborhood communities.

Resembling the area’s industrial environment, which has housed a shipyard in its history, the design aims to recall this site-specific atmosphere and “technical landscape”. The design suggests the use of wind energy as a primary source of energy in this location. Although other energy sources such as tidal / wave energy and solar systems can be used in the harbor; it can be estimated that wind energy can be more efficient in long-term planning regarding the area’s small scale environment. Besides, regarding city plans on waterfront use of old har...
