They succeed in creating a very soft and “confidential” light reminiscent of the lamps located inside historic theatres like La Scala. The Jelly Jars pinpoint the stairs and inside, the four balconies in the auditorium. The Jelly has been used in the exteriors on the double ramp of stairs located on the two sides of the theatre and, at night, the luminaire has a distinctive industrial site style. With a concentrated optic only in the central part of the optical assembly, the luminaire is effective and extremely easy to adjust so it suits the locations in which it is installed. This luminaire, created specifically for this project, is inspired by an industrial-style emergency lamp that has been adapted to create the type of effect desired by Renzo Piano. These are fitted with standard optics, and special coupling systems have been designed that respect the curve of the sphere’s metal structure while creating homogeneity on the ground and the right lighting and highlighting for filming social events.Īn element that unifies the interiors and exteriors is the so-called “Jelly Jar”. Inside the glass part of the Sphere Building, for example, 55 units of Woody luminaires have been used. The design of the artificial lighting was extremely complex as it involved illuminating environments with very different architectural features, functions and natural light input. The Motion Pictures Academy, the organisation that manages the Oscar Award ceremony every year, owns a collection of over 13 million items ranging from film scripts to photographs, costumes, storyboards and film sets that are displayed mainly inside the Saban Building. The complex now encompasses 4,700 sqm of exhibition space, two theatres, an open air plaza, a roof terrace, an education studio, a restaurant and retail areas. To conserve the historic value of the former May Company Building and with new functions and possibilities in mind, Renzo Piano chose to remove the 1946 additions to the building and replace them with a spherical structure that houses the 1,000-seat David Geffen Theatre and the Dolby Family Terrace with its spectacular Hollywood views. This sense of the past is then joined to the startlingly contemporary forms of the Sphere Building that evoke the shapes of the airships that landed here back in the early 1900s when the area was an airfield. This is also why the museum felt it was important to keep the Saban Building as it represents an idea of the future that people may have had, back in 1929. The architect Renzo Piano has designed this entire area as a place that transmits a sensation of travelling in time and space, as this is what people go to the cinema for. Situated on the famous "Miracle Mile" In Los Angeles, the museum has restored and revitalised the former May Company warehouse (built in 1939) and renamed it the Saban Building. The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, opened in 2021, is the most important cinema museum in the world.
