Palace cinema
iapm, Shanghai, China
2013
Avant Garde Sculpture
A cinema was being crafted inside the top international shopping mall, iapm Shanghai. The contemporary metropolitan style is not something can be easily found elsewhere in China. The cave like entrance speaks out strongly the cinema’s statement as a cinematic dreamy place while the entire style spontaneously blends with the demarcation of the mall concourse.
The design successfully hiding all the realistic limitations underneath the polygon shell and represents the cinema as an artistic sculpture. If you found yourself have got lost in this cinema, it is the idea of the designer by creating this futuristic place through form, lighting and material arrangement. From floor to the roof, from concourse to the theatre; there are thousands of polygons, forming this sculptural cinema. Each polygon pattern representing a movie dream and the dreams linked together to form this astonishing industry; so as this cinema. Ingenious lighting is a method sparkles the movie dreams; so as this fantastic space. Blurred reflections from the metallic surfaces adding layers to the wall and enriching the design; like metaphor in movies, it is always not crystal clear but leaves in-depth concept behind for your imagination.
