The Filmax Cinemas in Gran Vía, located within the Gran Vía 2 shopping centre, opened their doors 15 years ago, with this business model’s boom, which is based on leisure and mass consumption, and it led to filling the urban centres with a multitude of shopping centres, combining shops, restaurants and multi-screen theatres. After this golden age and before the paradigm shift, the client seeks a project to straighten up the cinemas by reducing their dimension, optimising their functioning and offering an experience which goes beyond what happens inside the room.

重新设计的柜台区域让工作区的动线和顾客的动线完全分离，影院员工可以在不影响游客的情况下完成所有工作，包括出售门票、饮料，控制影厅外的空间照明和电子屏幕等。设计把仓库和柜台直接联系起来，只需要两名工人就能够为前台补充所有的消耗品。

整个空间中的吊顶都被拆除，高度达到 2.7 米，加强了电影院入口的体验，给顾客带来舒适的感受。入口处的艺术装置和周围的结构被设计成相同的颜色，使空间的连续性得到满足。

The whole false ceiling is demolished in a way that the steps’ slabs section stand on the hall, enriching the concept of the entrance to the cinemas. Given the great height in some points, it is opted for a comfort height of 2.70m, as far as all the elements and coatings will arrive. As from this height, seen installations and structure are painted in a same colour, which gives a sense of uniformity.

鉴于电影院中人流的无序性和随机性，设计师决定在两个周线上排列数字信息板。一个是平行于柜台的轴线，将展示电影时间表，提供饮料和其他产品的信息。在垂直的方向，空间中的柱子与广告牌结合，其中的内容会随着时间和上映的影片改变。

Given the original disorder and randomness, it is decided to order the digital information in two axes. The first one, frontal from the access and parallel to the bar, will announce the schedules of films, drinks and other consumables. In a perpendicular direction, and by screening the original pillars, there will be a billboard with all the films and trailers. The architecture will change according to the information, energising the space.

进入影院后顾客会体会到光环境的变化，整个售票大厅相对黑暗的环境有助于观影人群适应空间的亮度。在 270 厘米高度处，设计师打造了一个之字形的照明系统，通过灯光的形态将观众从影院入口引导至放映厅。

The experience of entering the cinemas is, amongst other things, the change from light to darkness. At a height of 270 cm, a sub-structure is created to support all the arranged lighting in continuous strips that, with their zig-zag, guide the spectator from the doors to the entrance of the rooms. Therefore, the hall becomes the first gradient of darkness.
