项目概况:

This timber-clad cinema located beside a former military camp in Auch, in the south of France was designed by architects Encore Heureux to evoke both the arched facades of art deco picturehouses and the herringbone walls of local tobacco-drying sheds. Ciné 32 is a five-screen cinema contained inside a staggered row of numbered wooden sheds. Zig-zagging wooden slats dress the arched gables of each structure, while numbers one to five are hand-painted over the surfaces using a traditional decorative font. One screen is contained inside each of the sheds and everyone is furnished with different coloured seating. A sixth shed gives the cinema a double-height reception and is contrastingly clad with translucent polycarbonate. Activity workshops are contained in this part of the building, alongside offices, an exhibition space,a cafe and a terrace. Interior and façade lights were developed specifically to this project with an effort of economy, consistency and precision. As were the custom-made administration’s furnitures. Hand-painted numbers on pediments reveal the diversity of both spaces and styles in cinema. Strong involvement from local construction firms allowed us to respect lead time and expected budget equally with a common requirement for the result.
