Competition to design a convention center for cyclic film: Cinema Box – Designing a platform for film exhibition

A room of audience erupts into a fit of giggles as a comical tramp with a short mustache, wearing a suit and tall hat slips on a banana peel. The couple embraces as the man makes her stand on the railing of the ship, grabs her arms and extends them out. “I’m flying,” she says, as people swoon in unison over their romantic harmony and impending tragedy.
Cinema is one of the biggest cultural activities in the world. An art form with the biggest influence, budget, and widespread connectivity. Inducing emotions and crafting perspective, as it grows to be a visual medium connecting the world as we know today.
Films are essentially a communal experience where people shared a dialogue and society interaction prospered. But with time, the public exhibition of films is slowly disappearing. But with time, the public exhibition of films is slowly disappearing.
In the century of ‘clip thinking,’ a platform is needed where people can watch and enjoy films. A meeting place that encourages conversations and dialogue between people. On a macro scale, a space that helps in reaffirming contextual identity and brings the city in a frame.
Brief: To design a convention center for cyclic film enthusiasts, where the focus is on viewing and building dialogue through cinema.
