.....Europe....is Europe....And Holland is Holland !....



UTOPOLIS - ARCH DP6

Once realised, the new multiplex cinema will be the new entrance to the centre of the Dutch city of Emmen. Those who approach the city from the N364 will be confronted with the most dramatic corner of the cinema: the diagonally down-sloping underside of the theatres that hovers of a pool of water. The building also boasts of an extremely characteristic volume thanks to the variation of the spaces and forms of the theatres, seven in all. The entire structure is covered in a tight white 'skin', which changes continuously in appearance with the help of video projections. Altering light - via the sun, the moon or their artificial variations -- create a cinematic effect. Situated in the space between the volume and the ground are the entrance hall, the refreshment area and the foyers to the individual theatres.
