Cineroleum, Temporary cinema in London

On London?s Clerkenwell Road a team of young architects, designers and artists has created a temporary cinema called the “Cineroleum” from the canopy of an abandoned, decaying service station. The team of designers filled in the building on the sides with curtain walls made of DuPont™ AirGuard®membrane, a material normally used inside the cladding of buildings to reduce heat dispersion and improve seal and comfort, making it into a “wavy” curtain.
The Cineroleum was made out of donated and recycled materials, creating a new use for an abandoned and decaying urban site to benefit the community. Interiors, tickets, fold-up chairs and signs were all designed to recreate the familiar feeling of going to the cinema in a slightly decadent atmosphere like that of the golden age of the movies.
