exploring layout and floor level of cinema

I aimed to make the cinema an exciting space whilst focusing attention on the cinema screen. The seating is located at the curved wall, with angled walls directing the audience’s attention towards the film. The entrance doors open out onto a central seating row, allowing wheelchair users a better view of the screen. The seating, cinema screen and projector are positioned with the audience’s comfort in mind, meeting requirements for field of view and sightline clearance. The angled walls and sloped ceiling also allow better sound absorption.
