卡姆登的新电影院代表了对其高架桥两旁曾经的工业填充物的改造和更新。我们对第二个库兹地点的雄心壮志是要尽可能多地保留房东原有的外壳，重新利用作为更大的霍利码头改造的一部分而安装的建筑结构。我们利用继承的材料，插入了新的建筑元素，这些元素具有自己的语言，现在定义了电影院的公共空间。

Camden’s new cinema represents the adaptation and renewal of the once industrial infill lining its viaducts. The ambition for our second Curzon location sought to retain as much of the landlord’s pre-existing shell as possible, re-purposing the building fabric installed as part of the larger Hawley Wharf regeneration. Working with the inherited materials, we inserted new architectural elements with their own language which now define the public spaces of the cinema.

虽然我们使用胶合板、镀锌金属和结构钢，但我们通过添加石材和渲染，提升了其他适度的建筑材料。我们的意图是一种 “另类 “的感觉，与之前的东西不同。对我们和Curzon来说，重要的是不要符合经常被占用的工业仓库类型。

Although working with plywood, galvanized metal, and structural steel, we set out to elevate otherwise modest building materials with the addition of stone and render. Our intention was a sense of ‘otherness’, something different from what was there before. It was important to us and Curzon not to conform to the often appropriated industrial warehouse typology.

相反，这些干预措施是独立的拱形空间，具有明确的外墙、颜色、材料纹理、触感、织物、光线和阴影。我们探讨了同时发生的轻盈和重量的概念。现有的拱门有一种材料、结构和历史的重量感。我们插入了新的轻盈元素–尽可能少地使用新材料和资源。我们同时从现有的材料中选取了一种调色板，并通过梁和垂直节奏的表达，创造了建筑的重量姿态。

Instead, the interventions are individual arched spaces with expressed facades, colors, material textures, tactility, fabric, light, and shadow. We explored the notion of lightness and weight occurring simultaneously. The existing arches have a sense of material, structural and historical weight. We inserted new elements of lightness – using as little new material and resources as possible. We simultaneously composed a palette of materials from the existing and created architectural gestures of weight through the expression of beams and vertical rhythm.

这些拱门的性质所产生的内部和外部空间的关系，以及每个公共空间的分离性，使得建筑与城市环境的联系变得模糊不清。电影院的观众在一次次的旅程中，在电影的幻想、卡姆登的城市小巷和更开放的公共酒吧空间之间进出。

The relationship of internal and external spaces borne out of the nature of these arches and the separateness of each public space makes for a blurred architectural connection to the urban context. The cinema’s visitors pass inside and out between the fantasy of film, Camden’s urban alleyways, and the more open public bar spaces within a single journey.

礼堂、咖啡馆和酒吧是相连的，但又是独立的。它们是独立的空间，每一个都有自己的门通往街道。该项目提出了一个城市利基式的寄生干预的建筑方案，与现有的工业基础设施相适应–适应于轻盈和重量的再利用建筑。

The auditoriums, café, and bars are connected, yet separate. They are individual spaces, each with its own door to the street. The project proposes an architectural scenario of urban niche-like parasitic interventions, fitting into the existing industrial infrastructure – adapting into a re-use architecture of lightness and weight.
