The development of the cinema design lead me to rethink the cinematic experience in the 21st century; My design focuses into reviving the event and ritual that once the cinemas were. This was achieved by creating an atmosphere where the movie goers can socialize and further expand their cinematic experience. The way this social gathering space is created so as to revive the ritual and cult of older classics is through a Mรถbius Strip. The Mรถbius Strip symbolizes that the tradition of cinemas will remain ongoing forever. The building would involve the society and the individuals into the whole experience when moving along the strip. This would be a scenario in which all the visitors will be part of the event itself. In this way, the cinema center is to re-conceive the cinematic experience through flexible and performative spaces so as to create a whole event and spectacle.
