| DESIGN NAME: United Cinemas Parcocity Urasoe PRIMARY FUNCTION: Cinemacomplex INSPIRATION: This movie theater is located in Urasoe City, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Okinawa has experience of war, it is the only prefecture take place the battle in Japan. Team members want people lives here overcome the memories with futuristic design by using Line motif. Also the lines imply history, the past and future is continuous and direction to the hopeful future. In recent years, many commercial designs, including entertainment, have come together with organic materials and simple spatial expressions. We once again thought about redesigning it with the theme of futuristic design. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This movie theater is the flagship of our movie theater chain, which has 3 types of special movie format theaters, Imax, 4dx, and ScreenX, and 8 ordinary movie theaters. The size of the Imax is one of the largest in western Japan. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: We have introduced three latest movie formats so that many customers visiting Okinawa's largest commercial facilities can experience various movies. We have created the largest, most advanced, and best facilities so that they can be used not only by people in Okinawa but also by travelers from afar. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in 2016 and opening in 2019, located in Urasoe-city Okinawa Japan. Okinawa has a population of 1,457 million, which is unusual for Japan's prefecture, to grow in population and the younger generation. This movie theater opened with one of the largest shopping center in the prefecture. The surrounding area is a promising area where yacht harbors and resort hotel developments are being carried out and housing development is planned on the coastline in the future.

The cinema is the anchor and symbol of this huge commercial complex, opening up the cinema main facade and welcoming guests with a design that clearly has a futuristic feel that is different from other tenants. CHALLENGE: With advanced acoustic design, such as the structure that supports the vast space of Japan's largest Imax theater, and the thickness of the floor slab is more than three times the normal thickness in order to eliminate the vibration generated by Imax and 4dx. Structural calculation has been performed. Many times the painter repainted and putty to finish the curve in the lobby beautifully. The straightness of the Led indirect lighting requires a higher level of putty and paint than before.
