Supervisor: Peter Zuroweste
Inspired by the dynamic view cones tracked from the movement of
actors in the classic film “Rear Window,” this architectural design
for the Des Moines Art Centre stands as a testament to innovative
and cinematic creativity. This avant-garde structure elegantly captures
the essence of visual storytelling by incorporating a design
that mimics the fluid movements and perspectives observed in the
film. The building’s form is carefully crafted to facilitate an immersive
movie screening experience, with multiple vantage points and carefully
calculated sightlines that mirror the intricate choreography of
the movie’s actors.
