Lockdown Drive-In_ Cinema

3//Mar. 2023 | Urban Design,

During the COVID-19 lockdown, many people were looking for ways to enjoy themselves while staying safe. In following the dedication of creation interventions that benefit cities, Architecture for Humans, came up with the ide a of implementing a drive-in cinema. The Municipality of Prishtina took up the initiative and implemented it, using the parking space behind the Youth Palace.

The drive-in cinema was a great way to keep people entertained while still following social distancing guidelines. By staying in their cars, people were able to enjoy movies without worrying about being in close proximity to others. The sound aspect of the screenings was done via radio, which allowed people in their cars to tune in and listen without causing a disturbance to the neighborhood.

Temporary interventions like this are a great way to add value to a city, especially during difficult times like a pandemic. They provide new opportunities for people to come together and enjoy themselves, even while physical distancing. The drive-in cinema was a perfect example of this, offering a safe and enjoyable way for people to get out of the house and do something fun.

This project serves as an inspiration for the importance of temporary interventions in cities, particularly during challenging times like a pandemic. It demonstrates the positive impact they can have on individuals and the community as a whole.
