Mexican practice Rojkind Arquitectos has been awarded the design of 'Cineteca Nacional Del Siglo XXI' by the national council for culture and the arts of Mexico. With a focus on generating new cinematic experiences, the renovation project will increase the complex's built area from 20,000 m2 to almost 29,000 m2, of which 7,000 will be dedicated to the public.
Recognizing the medium's technological advancements which has allowed viewers to access 'moving pictures' beyond the standard screen setting, the design aims to remove film from its classic exhibition site and heighten the experience of the common space - parks, cafe, square - as a place of communication.
The pre-existing parking which occupies a large sector of the plot will be transferred to a six-level (above grade) parking, freeing up space for an outdoor amphitheatre, a public park, and a central plaza. Covered by a porous, canopy-like roof form, the central plaza will integrate trees into its layout to draw the elements of the park to its center. In addition, the project will add four new screening rooms (increasing seats from 2050 to 3050) and expand the archive vaults to house 50,000 more reels of films.
