This project, combined with a thesis, is an architectural solution for the reanimation of an old local movie palace into a new place for cinema.  As defined in the thesis, the new movie theater is inspired by an immersive experience of space to create a new media experience.  The project of the Cinéma Cartier is, then, a reflexion about the cinema in the city and about the great importance of keeping old movies theaters as living memory. Built in 1929, the Cinéma Cartier was one of many movie palaces in Montreal. Once important places of social gathering, these old buildings are now abandoned and looking for a second life.  From the typology of movie palaces, this project keeps the facade and the marquise, a grand immersive space, and the effervescence of being together as a cultural and symbolic value of the site. The new Cinéma Cartier is an immersion in the glorious past of movies, but with contemporary projection methods.  The new planning is flexible and adaptable, in order to change as fast as numeric medias.
