It is said by the architects that “stage and set design and structural architecture are merely two ends of the same rainbow.” With exclusive designs for artists such as the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Queen, and Madonna, as well as transforming venues for semi-permanent shows such as Kà by Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand Theater in Las Vegas, amongst several others, the company’s most recent endeavor is the movie theme park. It is one of two key buildings that anchor the 1.8 square kilometer ‘wuhan central cultural district’ development, which is a program of offices, residential, cultural buildings, and shopping malls along a canal-side site that is 2 kilometers long. A total of six multidimensional movie theaters may be found inside the 80,000 square meter edifice. In addition to additional attractions such as immersive restaurants, fast-food outlets, guest amenities, and Hollywood-themed shopping options, guests are treated to six movie rides that range from basic 3D experiences to 6D experiences that are supplemented with actors and scenery. The fundamental shape of the structure is derived from the wuhan bells, which are a historic sign of the Chu-han culture that is predominant in the area. This form has been reproduced and organized into two separate clusters, each of which is large enough to accommodate large-scale amusement park attractions that are situated on the ground level and on the higher levels. Glazed portions at street level provide store fronts that are double-height and look out into the lake. Additionally, the numerous eating and retail facilities inside the building offer expansive views of the surrounding region. When visitors enter the building from the public plaza to the south, the main entry bell directs them via the commercial axis known as the “street of bells,” which ultimately leads them into the great atrium. It is equipped with led displays along the balcony walls of the atrium that is 80 meters wide. The ad hoc vitality of the interstitial spaces and the terracing in the atrium is enhanced with lights that are programmed for dramatic performance. The pre-show lobbies and gigantic movie-themed experiences that were developed by forrec and ilm are accessible to visitors by protruding escalators and signs that are assertive in their presentation. The structure is surrounded on all sides by a public park and a boardwalk that runs along the lake’s edge. On December 20, 2014, the cinema park first opened its doors.
