This competition has a dual
nature. On the one hand there is a need for visibility and international expressivity,
on the other an appeal to respect for the extraordinary richness of Venice-Lido
system. The solution to such a dualism
bases itself on the conviction that trying to "be competitive" by destroying the
green area of the Lido, is shameful. Venice
is not an underdeveloped city. It
doesn't need violence and formal abuse. Thus,
magic realism becomes an expressive
solution, the opaque and earth-like appearance of the room harmonizes with the
green colour of Piazza del Cinema and Giardino del Cinema and with the two nineteenth-century
buildings. On the other side, the
basement, which is the functional solution to all the requirements of the competition,
is a sensual and luxury room: for the glass wall of the Hall overlooking the garden,
we use the image of a dragonfly wing and for the Foyer, the catwalk, the market
of the Cinema, and the Bar we make use of materials and images from the world
of Cinema such as gold, velvet, leather... This
answer to the duality of the competition represents a structural
and perceptive continuum, uniting respect and expressive
strength, metaphysical realism and sensuality. The
project concerning the 2400 seats hall does not consist of a symbolic and expressive
structure; it is an accurate answer to the functional requirements of the competition.
Refusing the classic object-building it is possible to regain the primitive relationship
between a place and the sea, mediated
by the skyline. Stairs, materials
and details prevail over language. The
hall is the pivot of an urban composition
integrating roads and sea, gardens and nature, the casino and the new Palazzo
del Cinema. The hall is built
partially underground, in order to avoid a conflict with the stair of the Lido,
and it has a glass wall overlooking the garden.
The longitudinal structure is 90 metres long; it is clearly visible and covered
by a mixture of resin and natural materials which confer a metaphysical
aspect on the structure. The
glass wall represents the transition towards the external world and above all
towards the garden. It also enables a reflection about glass: an
element enabling a synthesis among Venice, modern architecture and film. The
market of the cinema, the small rooms and the other facilities unite to form a
unique hypogeal architectural system,
it is an excellent system as to urban economy and from the point of view of the
activities working through the horizontal dimension, which belongs both to internal
and external spaces. As a
whole this area is a complex sequence of highly suggestive hypogeal places. It
contains references to cinema, festivity, sensuality, development, discovery and
urban life. The whole project
is carried out in a flexible and simple way:
these elements can generate the complexity, which, as Federico Fellini explained,
makes both cinema and city extraordinary, with just few elements. The
very "magical realism". The show
will repeat itself every year, the same but different, just like the sea. Winner
