LIC CINEMAThis project challenges the typical sequence of experiences associated with cinemas to-day. Instead of a linear experience, one with a distinct beginning and end, our building creates a loop. A loop that rises and falls like the climax of a movie. In this way the building responds to cinema in a unique way. The building replicates the excitement and build-up of emotion like a movie. We have created a place to experience cinema that is as exciting to go to as it is to stay.
Parts of a plot:
1. Exposition (of the situation)Approaching from the city you see the building extending both into the sky and ground. The building is an outdoor urban theater and a frame to the city beyond. The initial ex-perience is one of excitement and intrigue.
2. Rising Action (through conflict)Ascending through the building, views of the city are used as a backdrop to lounges and art galleries. Moviegoers and curious people mix in common spaces outside the theaters. These spaces open above and below; dramatic visual connections create an exciting pubic atmosphere.
3. Climax (or turning point)As you wait for the movie to start or your food to arrive, you sit floating above the city. The theater goes black or the ceiling turns to night as your experience begins.
4. Falling ActionOn your way out you can complete the loop and experience new spaces. A continuous park on top of the building provides a leisurely way to socialize as you go down.
5. ResolutionThe park space between the building and the river creates a place of solace and reflection. The silence of the river is amplified by the cover of the building. The visual connection to the Manhattan skyline it at its greatest.
