Concept
Architecture choreographed like a film — in frames, cuts and dissolves — where visitors are both audience and protagonist.
Cinemotion proposes the museum as a sequence of shots. Galleries, projection rooms and archives are arranged along a continuous, gently inclined promenade — a dramaturgy of darkness, light and reveal.
The façade alternates between solid mass and cinematic slits, controlling daylight with precision and transforming the exterior into a kinetic play of shadow through the day.
At the heart of the plan, a suspended cinema pod floats above a public lobby, carrying audiences between the urban ground and the curated darkness of the archives above.
