CINEMA vs. NATURAL CINEMA
duality of a cinema / projection within projection

“Flim are viewed in a darkened room, each spectator sits immobilized, fixated by a single hypnotic frame of light, semi-somnambulant, isolated, but surrounded by presence of others. This unique social and psycological experience produces a pleasure similar to that derived from dreams, and which can later be discarded and disavowed.” -Dan Graham; theater, cinema, power

There has been no social engagement and contingencies due to internalized typology of previous cinema itself, its compositional problem, and left over parking space in the series of different contextual geographies. Responding to the environmental and atmospheric changes, architecture becomes a device creates new typologies of cinema and social engagement both in and outside on the boundary of different geographies.
Lighting and shadow become environmental parameters to overlap two types of cinemas and to create differentiated programs in one space. Furthermore those architecturally perform by carving the geometry of individual cinema and its composition, and thus create time-related socializing in `desert island context`.
