IMAX Theatre, Sydney Australia
The 540 seat IMAX Cinema forms the centrepiece of Darling Harbour,
on Sydney’s
eastern city edge. Located among the freeways at the edge of Cockle Bay,
the design found solutions for many obstacles of space, fit, sound, size and
context. The symbolism of the outer structure is the human eye, with references
to classical theatrical philosophies.
Upon completion, the building boasted the world’s largest
cinema screen. The complex also features a stunning bar and two hundred-seat
restaurant, bookshop and function space. The complex quickly became an icon of
the Darling Harbour and Cockle Bay entertainment and leisure precinct.
The design of IMAX Sydney received a Royal Australian
Institute of Architects Merit Award and the BHP National
Metal Building
Award.
