Russian firm Syndicate Architecture Bureau won an architectural competition organized by the Garage Museum and Strelka KB to design a temporary summer movie theater space in Moscow's Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure.
The design is a palpable contrast: while the lightweight material palette of the structure hints at its own temporality, its pyramidal profile makes it appear as though it will be standing well after its intended purpose has been fulfilled. The architects intended for the design to be "a self-sufficient central object" in the plaza, with a glowing, iridescent skin that changes appearance throughout the day.
Garage Screen was launched in 2012 to show museum goers the best of Russian and international filmmaking, including documentary, experimental, and feature films. Garage Museum was founded in 11 year ago by Dasha Zhukova and Roman Abramovich the first philanthropic institution in Russia to create, according to its founders, "a comprehensive public mandate for contemporary art." With Garage Screen, the museum hopes to extend these initiatives to the public square and the passerby during the warm summer months.
