Headquarters of the New Film Theatre of Catalonia in the Raval district of Barcelona.
Filmoteca de Cataluña
Filters are juxtaposed on the wall. This cinematographic metaphor is not just conceptual; it is above all physical, sensible. In the old town, with very close relations between buildings, interaction must be mediated, filtered. And this is implemented by a variety of devices, with a vague cinematographic reference.
About the space… the space is organized around two movements:
a) The descent into the darkness of the cinemas, with the reflection of the spectators (in turn reflected, actors seen in a series of mirrors)
b) The ascent towards the light, towards the places of work. Two courtyards, connected but not continuous, accompany and construct the movement.
The new film theatre building presents a façade on Plaça de Salvador Seguí, at an angle to Carrer de Sant Pau. Together with the existing constructions, it forms Carrer d’Espalter.
Location: Carrer d’Espalter, 08001 Barcelona, Catalonia, Northeast Spain, western Europe
