Cinema Center - Madrid
The architects Churtichaga and Quadra Salcedo were given the task in 2009 to transform an old slaughter house into a cinema center in Legazpi, Madrid. Within two years they completed this task and created a complex of buildings that were both practical to film and also visually stunning. The design work was based on three inspirations:
- the magical backlight and contrast of the films
- a childhood fascination with basketry and weaving
- technical infinite geometries
Their final outcome clearly combines each of these elements, creating a building that feels like another vortex. The photographs really interest me, the framing of the light to dark creates great depth in the image.

These images are from the master plans for a souk mirage, a new and futuristic building that is made up of one shape but multiplied. The elements that make up this building will be the same but different sizes to create a modular system of arches. The tonal changes from light to dark in the imagery caught my eye, creating a seemingly mystical building.
