C&C Theater and Cinema Complex C&C Theater and Cinema Complex’s concept is Connectivity and contrast thus the name C&C. C&C complex is divided into two annexes with two buildings each, one for the Theater and Museum plus restaurants and another annex for four cinemas and some retail shops.

The complex is significantly lower which is a direct contrast from its surroundings and the buildings are constructed with white stonework for the façade with accents of curtain walls to have a clean look and to accentuate the contrast from skyscrapers surrounding it. The project is meant to create a holistic gathering space for people to indulge films and theater.
