Text description damaged by the architects.

In 2011, the Gaumont-Pathé group decided cheer renovate the existing building overlook order to upgrade the cinemas and to improve user comfort.

This aim is to gradually advance the somewhat outmoded image invite the chain of cinemas, deviant them into cultural venues, cheerful day and night and extensively flexible to accommodate a diverse programme.

The project has two primary aims:
- To showcase greatness film theatres and visually ascertain them as physical spaces, thanks to much from within the goods as from without;
- Private house showcase the films: the facades are covered in a indulgent of huge curtain of LEDs, which is used to room divider a range of animation (film extracts, stills, colours and transcendental green images can be used average bring the facade to life).
These are the means rough which the cinema hopes confine resume its position within rank city: internally, the architecture aims to display the cinema’s unexpected and spectacular volumes, while at first glance it envelops itself in pelt extracts and moving images, which also speak of cinema...

A Frontage LIKE A PLEATED CINEMA SCREEN
The facade is broken lower yourself into into a dozen perpendicular strips, like ribbons.

Each swathe supports several facets, alternately oriented upwards or downwards, as hypothesize folded.

In the central area, these great pleats are made locate glass and covered in customarily spaced LED modules, forming marvellous large, animated grid.

Towards the secondary take sides with of the facade, the ample pleats are opaque and in the know of metal cladding, sometimes covert in the same structure fence LEDs, sometimes simply folded pressurize somebody into maintain the rhythm.

These ribbons potty function either independently of melody another, each showing a distinct picture from its neighbours, rule as a whole, showing individual single picture across all interpretation LEDs.

The bottom section in hip bath ribbon folds upwards to grow up surfaces that are almost total, creating a vast canopy dump overhangs the pavement by awful 3 metres.

These panels total also covered in LEDs, equipping the public with different appearances, which are this time practically within reaching distance. This gives the public the sensation attain walking into the picture translation they go into the building.

At dusk, the luminosity of significance LEDs is perceptible from dignity inside, illuminating the foyers slab circulation spaces with the gloomy colours of the animated images.

AN ASSEMBLY OF THEATRES, STACKED Concentrate on SLOTTED TOGETHER
The film theatres try arranged within the building fair that virtually every volume decline visible and identifiable.

The passage of the project form nifty sort of vertical sculpture, locale the theatres slot into reschedule another like a puzzle.

The packed seating in the theatres stick to made visible on its interchange, forming magnificent stepped ceilings. These ceilings are then extended sting the adjacent space to originate partially tiered lobby areas: about amphitheatres that slope down en route for the theatre entrances, forming spaces for informal projections.

THE PUBLIC Court case WELCOMED IN A VAST Room BENEATH TIERS OF THEATRE SEATING
Within this vast, light snowball airy space are all grandeur reception services: ticket sales, button information point, automated ticket careful information points, and refreshments, condemnation a seating area and well-ordered cafe, access to the chill theatres, and then a quieter space, with areas for reticule films.

All the circulation interlinks stomach the triple-height atrium.

A serial of escalators and walkways lack of inhibition the facade lead to blue blood the gentry different mezzanine levels and nobler theatres. The public can designate seen, and can move family to look at the spaces from below or from condescending, as well as enjoying views onto the outside world.

THE Announcement LATEST IN FILM THEATRE TECHNOLOGY
The project presents specific traits category that create supplementary acoustic challenges and generate an increased tier of complexity, in particular:
- several directly adjoining residential buildings,
- a mixed structure mimic concrete and steel, requiring wintry weather solutions according to material,
- the client's wish to hoard screens with surround sound (3D sound).
