DESIGN NAME: Starz Cinema
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Cinema
INSPIRATION: Wedges of wall visualize the 3D construction of a star. Unlike evenly distributed squares, stars comprise of uneven lines and angles. Imagine turning a star into pod vessels, then shrink or elongate each angle. Through 3D actualization, the wall bestows a various ‘star’ feeling. As stars illuminate and sparkle in the dark, the designers simulate the texture with silver colored metals whereas the background remains dark. This enormous contrast further attributes to the brightness of the stars.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The designers embody the concept of stars throughout the perimeter, which coincidentally matches the name of the shopping mall where the cinema was situated.
Upon arrival of the main lobby, scattered pieces of star patterns disguise among the background. The uncustomary forms of star patterns further trigger people imagination. The stones and tiles contour the impression of a star, without actualizing the definite form of it.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: The auditorium prolongs the shape of a star. The walls are made up of layers and layers of 3D panels, which reflect the pattern of a star by light and shades. Again, the designers show their inventiveness by hiding the star message, without actually showing the normal star pattern. Various embodiments carry the hidden star message throughout the perimeter.
