WUHAN HORIZON MALL PALACE CINEMAS
Frame fragments scatter throughout the cinema to resemble the connection of frames into movies.
The concept of frames is the theme of this cinema. To represent the connection between frames in a dynamic and 3D fashion, the designers broke down the outline of frames and reconnected them in various forms. In the lobby, frame fragments scatter throughout the space in a continuous flow, stretching from the floor to the ceiling. Looking at the ceiling feature from different angles, visitors would see a new composition of the tubes. Lighting segments are installed randomly along the tubes to enhance the 3D effect. The frames are made of red copper/aluminium square tubes in red copper color, harmonizing with the dark gray tile wall and floor. In the auditoriums, the walls are covered with frame patterns made from orange and brown acoustic panels, highlighting the light and shadows of the frames to create a 3D effect. As visitors walk pass frame fragments from the cinema entrance to auditoriums, they connect them in their path, resembling the connection of frames into a film.
