The Centipede Cinema was designed by Colin Fournier, built with the help of Marysia Lewandowska and NEON design studio and is located in Guimarães, Portugal.
The Centipede Cinema invites users to duck their heads below the structure into one of the 16 holes below. Once inside the structure users can lean and rest against the cork interior with their arms and watch a series of 3 minute trailers looped into an hour movie. The exterior and interior shells have been clad in varying kids of cork to emphasize it's versatility in varying applications. The dark cork created a black out effect for a better viewing experience. The free-standing structure aims to create a playful juxtaposition against the heritage buildings in the surrounding neighborhood. The bright coloration and unique shapes and activity create a sense of wonder and child like intrigue. The Centipede Cinema is intended to be a design intervention and gains its name based on the alien-like appearance of multiple legs the structure possess when in use.
