The Kinemax
The application of the most advanced communications technologies is the
common denominator of all of the areas in the magnificent Futuroscope Park in
Vienne, France.
The area is a cross between a large science museum and an impressive
amusement park where science and fantasy have set aside their mutual
antagonism. It contains some of the most popular attractions in the park such as the
Communications Pavilion and the Futuroscope Pavilion (from which the park takes
its name). It also includes the Kinemax, which presents information through all of
the senses so that the public may see, hear, touch and feel progress for themselves.
Inspired by mineral forms, the Kinemax is one of the most spectacular buildings
constructed in Europe during the last decade.
The simulation of the appearance of a rock crystal was achieved by a
carefully studied structural layout which translates the original idea into
architectural forms through a three-level construction process.
The primary structure is a steel «box» which defines the limits of the interior
space. This box is waterproof and provides a stable base for the whole
construction. The structure is mainly composed of beams placed horizontally and
at a 60° angle which bear the horizontal load of the secondary structure composed
of the «crystals.» The inside of the box is lined with an acoustic insulation for the
cinema. The secondary structure, made of galvanised steel, is a latticed frame
which duplicates the appearance of a quartz crystal by superimposing a series of
hexagonal prisms on the primary box-like structure. Finally, the tertiary structure
serves as a base for the dark mirrors which are fastened to the secondary structure
and define the external appearance of the building. The use of a system of open-
joint fastening devices made it possible to maintain all the correct angles of the
figure. This was necessary to provide the required degree of realism.
A final result achieved by this combination of structures is a gigantic
functional sculpture whose dark mirrore d facades reflect reality to a syncopated
rhythm. This visual fragmentation of the world around is a metaphor for the very
essence of cinema, in which the fuzzy borderline between fiction and reality plays
an important role .
