The Design

About Extra Time Cinema Cinema, Galeria de Arte

O Extra Time Cinema é um cinema sob demanda e galeria localizado no segundo subsolo de um centro comercial em Xangai. O interior ocupa 800 metros quadrados. Um bar situa-se no centro de um espaço semicircular com 9 metros de raio, de modo que a área pode funcionar como cafeteria, salão de palestras, palco para apresentações de dança e local para lançamentos de produtos. A parede externa é revestida por aço inoxidável espelhado dobrado, e os reflexos mudam à medida que as pessoas passam. Ranhuras curvas em aço inoxidável abrigam fitas de luz e painéis plásticos translúcidos, que brilham em azul, verde e vermelho rosado.

Unique Properties: In addition to the functional format of the on-demand cinema, designers have created an infinitely possible theater for the space. The bar at the entrance is the center of the circle, with a radius of 9 meters, surrounding a semi-circular space, it brings various possibilities for customer operations. In addition to the daily cafe function, this space has hosted movie lecture salons, improvised performances of modern dance, and has been leased by corporate users for product launches.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 800 square meters. The designer deliberately shaped a more exaggerated width and height ratio in the space walkway design, with the way of building wash wall lights, increased the indoor space in the architectural space scale sense.

Production Technology: At the top of the semi-circular area of the entrance, designers decorated with cheap sunlight panels, made curved stainless steel grooves, arrange the light strips, inserted plastic sunlight panels, and after the lights are turned on, the entire sunlight panel was illuminated, making the entire ambient light from blue to green and rose red.
Design Challenge: The project is located on the B2 floor of the shopping mall, behind a large staircase. The location is very inconspicuous. Designers wanted to open the entire facade, and make a large interactive projection device at the door to attract customers who pass by in the distance, but not passed by the property owners. Therefore, they made a new attempt under limited conditions, and wrapped the exterior facade of the solid wall with a folded stainless steel mirror surface.
Research: In the design process, designers advocated the concept of economy and environmental protection, insisted on using simple and common materials, and made rich and interesting effects through design research. For example, the arc-shaped decorative material suspended in the air, which left a deep impression on customers. Through this experiment and exploration, designers knew that ordinary cheap materials can also create good visual effects and bring interesting experiences to customers.
Inspiration: Nowadays, with the rapid development of network technology, there is less and less person-to-person communication. Although the traditional on-demand cinema feels like a completely private space, designers hope that there will be more communication between people and make the on-demand cinema a new social space. They have added a multifunctional space with a bar as the core. Here, people can sit down for coffee, read a book, buy their favorite videos, hold salon lectures and meet new friends.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2018 in Shanghai and finished in March 2019 in Shanghai.
Operation Flow: The designer used the principle of light projection, so that each cinema number in the form of light projected on the facade and it is the best respect for the space light environment.
