Curzon Camden

卡姆登的新电影院代表了曾经工业化填充物的适应与更新，这些填充物沿着其高架桥而建。我们第二个Curzon地点的目标是尽可能保留房东预先存在的建筑外壳，重新利用作为更大霍利码头再生项目一部分的建筑材料。在继承的材料基础上，我们插入了具有自身语言的新建筑元素，这些元素现在定义了电影院的公共空间。
尽管使用了胶合板、镀锌金属和结构钢材，我们的目标是通过添加石材和抹灰来提升这些本来朴素的建筑材料。我们的意图是创造一种“他者感”，与之前的环境有所不同。对我们和Curzon来说，重要的是不遵循常被借用的工业仓库类型。相反，这些干预措施是独立的拱形空间，具有表现出的立面、色彩、材料质感、触感、织物、光线和阴影。
我们探索了轻盈与沉重同时存在的概念。现有的拱门具有材料、结构和历史的重量感。我们插入了新的轻盈元素——尽可能少使用新材料和资源。同时，我们从现有材料中组合出一系列材料，通过梁的表现和垂直节奏创造出重量感的建筑手势。
内部与外部空间的关系源于这些拱门的特性以及每个公共空间的独立性，使得与城市环境之间的建筑联系变得模糊。电影院的访客在电影的幻想、卡姆登的城市小巷和更开放的公共酒吧空间之间穿行，形成了一次独特的旅程。
放映厅、咖啡馆和酒吧相互连接，但又各自独立。它们是独立的空间，每个空间都有通往街道的独立入口。该项目提出了一种城市小众寄生干预的建筑场景，融入现有的工业基础设施——适应为一种轻盈与沉重相结合的再利用建筑。
Camden’s new cinema represents the adaptation and renewal of the once industrial infill lining its viaducts. The ambition for our second Curzon location sought to retain as much of the landlords pre-existing shell as possible, re-purposing the building fabric installed as part of the larger Hawley Wharf regeneration. Working with the inherited materials, we inserted new architectural elements with their own language which now define the public spaces of the cinema.
Although working with plywood, galvanised metal and structural steel, we set out to elevate otherwise modest building materials with the addition of stone and render. Our intention was a sense of ‘otherness’, something different to what was there before. It was important to us and Curzon not to conform to the often appropriated industrial warehouse typology. Instead, the interventions are individual arched spaces with expressed facades, colours, material textures, tactility, fabric, light and shadow.
We explored the notion of lightness and weight occurring simultaneously. The existing arches have a sense of material, structural and historical weight. We inserted new elements of lightness - using as little new material and resource as possible. We simultaneously composed a palette of materials from the existing and created architectural gestures of weight through the expression of beams and vertical rhythm.
The relationship of internal and external spaces borne out of the nature of these arches and the separateness of each public space makes for a blurred architectural connection to the urban context. The cinema’s visitors pass inside and out between the fantasy of film, Camden’s urban alleyways and the more open public bar spaces within a single journey.
The auditoriums, café and bars are connected, yet separate. They are individual spaces, each with their own door to the street. The project proposes an architectural scenario of urban niche-like parasitic interventions, fitting into the existing industrial infrastructure - adapting into a re-use architecture of lightness and weight.
