‘Cinema Futura’ movie theater - Zhongshan, China (2014)
Designed by Alexander Wong
“Вased on futurism and inspired by classic sci-fi movies like Ridley Scott’s Alien and James Cameron’s Avatar, the design attempts to create the first sci-fi cinema in Zhongshan, China. The 36,800-square-foot interior is a complex composition of organic design elements that create original forms. These forms are custom made with fiberglass molds, bold colors, and dynamic lighting to produce a futuristic ambience.
At the entrance, one immediately arrives at the Plaza Pandora, a surrealistic biosphere with an organic ceiling supported by double-layered spiraling columns with an outer skin inspired by DNA strands called chromosome columns and the movie Alien. Here, one will also notice the white leaf-like patterns on the floor with matching metallic pendant lights swirling dynamically above. The plaza is encompassed by the sensual forms of the Pandora Box Office and Bar Pandora where moviegoers can buy tickets and popcorn to begin their unique journey into movie fantasy. Our inspiration here is nature itself. Nature is filled with the most complex geometrical shapes imaginable. In terms of this complexity and the sophistication of our universe in its entirety, sci-fi and futurism only reflect a tiny fraction. We are deeply inspired, or quite simply, in awe of nature. It is the source of all art forms, including architecture and spatial design.”

Hey everyone!
If you’re in NYC, I’ll be giving a presentation on our CARI & Y2K work at the Dec. 17th 4:00pm showing of ‘Time Bomb Y2K’ at the DCTV Firehouse Cinema, along w/ a post-screening Q&A!
‘Time Bomb Y2K’ is an excellent archival footage documentary on the cultural context surrounding the Y2K bug! Our CARI work has expanded greatly in scope since my last presentation so there’s quite a bit new to share!
