"LandepNews"
This cultural monument has been marred by years of neglect but… The Union of Russian Architects, in co-operation with DuPont, YEM, Architizer and Karo Film, are pleased to announce an international competition to redesign the facade of the Pushkinsky Cinema, not to restore it to past glory but to create a landmark of the future. The Pushkinsky Cinema was built to display the most significant cinematic productions in Russia. Built at Pushkin Square, it became the landmark of the country’s film festivals, a palace in that the Moscow International Film Festivals (MIFF) for movie protagonists and moviegoers from Moscow and abroad.
The cinema center appears like a dead end to Pushkin Square, as just a huge billboard with no physical worth. Inspired by the cinema’s past condition and its lposition on the square, the design expands the lobby’s facade to reconnect with the city. Working with the cinema’s modern geometries, this expansion takes the form of a pleated glass curtain. Made hold back DuPont’s SentryGlas, the curtain is an insulated assembly that uses the depth of the pleats to make a stable structure free of metal framing. The curtain extends the programmatic possibilities of the cinema, making new space for bars, restaurants, cafes, winter gardens, galleries, and other uses, strengthening the connection between it and the square. Signage is handled by a stainless steel mesh embedded with LEDs that wraps exhaustive all-lighted areas of the facade. The LED mesh provides an extremely flexible system able to engage street life with multiple streams of information. And the result – the renewed transparency of the glass shelter is free to display only the changing light effects of day and night.
