About Oriental Movie Metropolis Balai Pameran

Tarandam dalam taluk Starry Island, Oriental Movie Metropolis Grand Theatre dirancang untuak manunjuakkan kakuatan dan jiwa kota pasisia. Tampak saolah-olah dipahat dek alam, bangunan ko manyatu sacaro mulus jo simbol transfusi budayo Qingdao. Jo bantuan representasi simbolik, teater ko maningkatan hubungan emosional antaro pangunjuang jo lingkungan. Arsitektur iko konsekuensinyo bersifat teatrikal baik dalam penampilan ruang narratifnyo maupun dalam konteks lanskapnyo.

Unique Properties
The Oriental Movie Metropolis Grand Theatre stands in the Starry Island’s bay in Qingdao. With its curved form as a seaside conch, the theatre represents perfectly the local identity and culture. Parametric design enables both the efficient construction and the narrative visual effect of the comprehensive facade.

Production Technology
In order to reproduce the concept of silver shell, the construction constraints including complex skin, nonlinear structure, and the material precise positioning in construction process.With the aid of BIM computer system for design, construction and acceptance, it solves the nonlinearity, three-dimensional spiral and complexity limitation in the construction process.
Design Challenge
In order to realize the existing design concept, the Grand Theater adopts a spirally rising complex curve form, and uses a horizontal and vertical composite aluminum panel curtain wall structure to achieve this shape. This structure determines that most of the aluminum panels are hyperboloid during production, and at the same time, they need to be customized. The complexity of the corresponding components during construction and the installation accuracy requirements are very high; the installation and positioning of a large number of special-shaped aluminum panels during the curtain wall construction stage is difficult; complex The deformation control of the steel structure during the construction process is relatively difficult. To ensure safety, the construction process requires high precision in terms of steel consumption, displacement control, and synchronization.
Research
Dominated by the initial design concept, the project applies the forward BIM methodology to introduce the parametric control of spatial curves in the very first stage of design. Integrating the artistic design of form as well as the construct of NURBS curves and surfaces, the elegant double shells concept fits well with the function of theater. During the whole design and construction process, forward BIM technology is used for the design communication and file control, which enables the best translation of the initial design concept to the final built structure of the theater as well as the combination of art and technology.
Inspiration
Conch, the oldest marine creature, has the closest relationship with the sea. This case combines Qingdao's unique marine culture and takes the design concept of "blue sea silver conch". The grand theater with horizontal shell strips is standing by the sea. The abstract and dynamic shape perfectly blends with the ocean style and project characteristics. After completion, it will become the most shining landmark in Qingdao.
Project Duration
The project was completed in Qingdao on November 15, 2017 and officially opened on April 28, 2018.
Operation Flow
The Oriental Movie Metropolis Grand Theatre is a cultural building specially built for the International Movie Festival. It will be the main venue of the film festival to hold the opening and closing ceremonies and award ceremonies of the film festival. It will also give consideration to comprehensive artistic performances and occasional concert performances.
At the same time, another building adjacent to the east side: the Show Theatre project, jointly creates the most important landmark building on the west coast of Huangdao District. The first SCO National Film Festival was held in Qingdao Oriental Film Capital Theatre from June 13 to June 17, 2018.
