The design concept draws inspiration from the streaks left by stars slashing across the pre-dawn sky. These star trails represent time’s passage, each star’s arc marking a fleeting moment. Countless intertwining star trails compose the cosmic timeline. Cinema itself, an art form of time, transports the audience on a condensed journey through a lifetime or a fantastical adventure within a mere two hours.
The circular form created by the star trails shapes the ceiling, becoming not only a visual focal point but also a portal connecting different times and spaces. Before entering the cinema hall, patrons pass through a "Dawnlight" corridor crafted with gradient glass. Patrons transition from reality to the cinematic space via a "Dawnlight" passage constructed of gradient glass. The designer expertly captures the ethereal qualities of dawn, that interplay of light and mystery bridging day and night, reality and dreams. This chromatic shift acts as a psychological cue, aiding patrons in transitioning from the mundane to the cinematic, preparing them for the immersive experience ahead. Journeying through this "Portal of Time," audiences embark on adventures beyond reality within the virtual worlds created by film.
