The 7 and The 7

The7& The 7
Cinematic discovery center
‘’Architecture exists, like cinema, in the dimension of time and movement, in the continuous shot/sequence
that a building is.’’
‘’Cinematograph, Architecture of image expressed in films’’ Jean novel
The main concept of the project is based on the fusion and the infusion between two cultural components cinematography and architecture these two components create and mediate comprehensive images /frames of life
The project was built up through a process of architectural translation of certain cinematic elements (motion, music, light, text, script, time, camera lenses, frames ....etc).
Seven strips (referring to the seven forms of arts) were subjected to a series of transformations (stacking- shifting –twisting-spiraling -) to create unique spatial pockets that correspond to relevant cinematic effects.
Which intern allows the visitors to experience these effects directly and discover the process of movie making uncensored.
The project is situated at the end of the cultural spine of Damascus, viewing mount Qassioun and the Omayyad square
