This project challenges architecture’s outdated responsibilities, embracing radical freedom. Liberated from past constraints, its ultimate mission is to craft symbolic spaces fulfilling the timeless yearning for community. Drawing parallels between cinema and places of worship, both share a central focal point, uniting audience or congregation in purpose. These sacred realms, once revered, now stand at a crossroads, mirroring each other’s uncertain destinies. Interpret the form as a void filled with classical and baroque-inspired masses. Major public spaces take shape as solid masses, while voids, resulting from the collision of these major spaces, form secondary or service spaces.
