The new Pathé cinema is an eye-catcher in the center of Leeuwarden. The building references the traditional red-orange brick of the historical centre of Leeuwarden. The gracefully undulating facade, with its flowing soft shapes, relief masonry and columns like articulated legs, is an introduction to the illusory world of film. Architecture and cinema join hands evoking figurative associations: from a theatre curtain to a fantastic chimera, with the relief bricks as its scaly skin. Gerard van Beek Gerard van Beek   More
