Sunken below the “Art Square” are the subterranean movie halls which are accessed through a “cinematographic canyon excavated from the square.” As NL describes, “One of the halls seems to ‘escape’ from the base, a bit like a lava lamp, to become a prominent and visible emblem for the cinema as a whole.” Elevated above the ground floor, this “black box” easily connects to the museum and opens up to the Rhine, inspiring multiple uses for the space.
