Design proposal. The renovation and expansion of an existing movie theater creates a new focal center for this small town. The proposal establishes a new aerial connection between the renovated movie theater and the existing adjacent middle school. A new sunken plaza offers the possibility for outdoor gathering and performances. A new pedestrian route shortcuts some of the exterior pedestrian traffic and is sprinkled with eye-catching elements like a playful fountain, curved walls around trees available for mural art and semicircular benches.
