THE CINEROLEUM Assemble Architects. London, UK. 2010.<br />

The Cineroleum is a small “adaptive reuse” movie theatre, built off of the remains<br />

of an old gas station in London. The idea of this little theatre was developed by<br />

Assemble Architects, but the construction was carried out by volunteers in the<br />

community. The shell of this theatre is made up of the steel posts left from the gas<br />

station, and the walls were created by sheets of aluminum that can be rolled up and<br />

down. The theatre itself seats a little over 100 people, and has just 1 screen, which is<br />

generally pretty small. In addition to the theatre, there is an attatched building where<br />

the bathrooms and concessions (popcorn machine, etc.) are located. The Cineroleum<br />

serves as a community gathering space where people of all demographics can come<br />

together and enjoy something they have in common- the art of film.<br />
