Sin936: Museum of Film and Visual Art

This is my entry for the Rome Film Museum competition 2015.  The idea was for take hints from the local area and combine them into a living camera obscura. This contrast of new vs old would be used to draw interest to the building while giving it back to the Colosseum once one has entered the museum. The building also utilized its location to act as a exhibition space for film students of the nearby university. the combination of students and visitors would allow for a continuous ever changing mix of interactions between the students and the people who they wish to touch with their art.
