A NEW CINEMA FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
The project has two main aims:
- To showcase the fi lm theatres and visually identify them as physical spaces, as much from within the building as from without.
- To showcase the films, this time directly on the facade. Here the films themselves, rather than the theatres, take their place ... The facades are covered in a kind of huge curtain of LEDs, which is used to screen a range of animation: fi lm extracts, stills, colours and abstract images can be used to bring the facade to life.
These are the means by which the cinema hopes to resume its position within the city: internally, the architecture aims to display the cinema’s unusual and spectacular volumes, while externally it envelops itself in fi lm extracts and moving images, which also speak of cinema ....
An assembly of theatres, stacked and slotted together
The fi lm theatres are arranged within the building so that virtually every volume is visible and identifiable. The contents of the project form a sort of vertical sculpture, where the theatres slot into one another like a puzzle. The tiered seating in the theatres is made visible on its underside, forming magnificent stepped ceilings. These ceilings are then extended into the adjacent space to create partially tiered lobby areas: little amphitheatres that slope down towards the theatre entrances. These create spaces for informal projections, supplementary spaces where yet again cinema is present and disseminated.
It is almost as though the stalls in the fi lm theatres had reached out beyond their boundaries to welcome the public into a universe bathed in fi lm and projections ... The public is welcomed in a vast space beneath tiers of theatre seating As already mentioned, the aim was to make the project more fluid and accessible to all members of the public: entrance is made via a large hall, which runs the full depth of the building and links the Boulevard de Général Leclerc directly to the Rue d’Alésia.
Within this vast, light and airy space are all the reception services: first in line from the Boulevard entrance are ticket sales, an information point, automated ticket and information points and refreshments, with a seating area and a cafe. Beyond these, to the left, is access to the different theatres, above and below, and then a quieter space towards the Rue d’Alésia entrance, with areas for screening films. This sculpted space is tucked into a hollow beneath the tiered seating of one of the theatres above. All the circulation interlinks within the majestic, triple-height atrium. A series of escalators and walkways behind the facade lead to the different mezzanine levels and upper-level theatres. The public can be seen, and can move around to look at the spaces from below or from above, as well as enjoying views onto the outside world.
Within this array of stairs, walkways and escalators, large areas of tiered seating are arranged. These punctuate the public spaces, providing further spaces for sitting and chatting before going in to see a film. With their backs to the facade, these little amphitheatres address the fi lm theatre wall, onto which moving images can be projected and viewed from the banked seating. A sneak preview of the film, for example ...

The entrance of the film house is housed in the neighboring former carpentry workshop. There was previously a lane between the carpentry and the central building which was later built. This padding can be clearly realized by the fact that the old side wall of the center is still visible. This later-filled zone forms the entrance hall of the movie house, from which you get through a new passage and a lazy staircase in the middle of the film house.
Outside the entrance is a public passage made on the ground floor of the carpentry shop, which connects the courtyard to the Bassin via a large staircase. Above this passage lies the office of Lumière, and on the Cour side, where the large height difference joins the ground floor, there is an additional multifunctional space.
The carpentry is one of the earliest and slimmest examples of a 'Hennebique construction'. This construction principle implies that beams, floors and columns were all poured at once, which allowed very slender constructions to be made. The construction of this building has been strengthened especially under the floor, but the slimmest columns on the floor are also visible in the Courgevel after the re-destination.
The large hall of the complex is constructed below the Cour's level using the large height difference between the Cour and the basin at the front of the central. This allows the desired future link with the adjacent Sappi terrain to be built directly behind the complex, leaving room for future developments surrounding the entire Cour.
The complex's extensive and refurbished complex was filled with abandoned technical spaces, some of which have been sealed for years. By combining the basement, which fits into a complex as a machine, it has been possible to give all these spaces a new function, most of which are now publicly accessible. Even the restrooms of the film house are now worth the effort. For example, there were toilets made under the heavily moored vaults of a former railroad raft next to the central station, about which the coal was supplied to the boilers. The toilet next to the restaurant is located in a light high room with beautiful light from above and classic green tiles in which the unit with the toilets and washbasins is now placed in the room. The restrooms at the cinema are located in the former alley between the buildings. The former exterior facade has been visible here, which made the history of the complex visible to the attentive visitor.
Since the complex consists of very different premises with each other a different condition and status, each building is otherwise tackled in a technical sense. In order to be able to repair the heavily dilapidated boiler houses in a sound and durable way, it has been removed in very poor condition and the steel structure as a whole is conserved. The walls are then re-mattened and insulated, resulting in a much more comfortable and durable whole. By choosing for this approach, the entire complex could be maintained, including the slender steel structures. At the same time, this approach made it possible to put under the existing premises a basement for the movie rooms, leaving space in the halls to experience the halls as a whole. The state-of-the-art machine hall has been restored and restored as well as possible. In the base there was chosen to keep up with improvements wherever possible without changing the appearance of the monument.
The whole is a beautiful complex in which the Sphinx industrial heritage is combined with state-of-the-art cinemas and an extensive hospitable hospitality in a great ambiance: a unique film house in a unique place!
The new movie house Lumiere Cinema was opened in October 2016.
