Abstract
The architecture of motion picture laboratories in the Arctic is a new phenomenon in domestic cinema, requiring consideration of extreme climatic conditions, permafrost, logistics constraints, and specifics of the film production. Yakut cinema features many genres, including drama, horror–especially folk horror–comedies, documentaries, and popular science films. The cinema predominantly showcases social and psychological dramas, as well as mystical works that reflect the unique traits of the national culture.
Purpose: This study aims to develop optimal architectural and planning solutions that ensure efficient film production in harsh northern conditions.
Methodology: The following methods are used to develop the architecture of motion picture laboratories: comparative analysis, generalization and structuring of information, and modeling.
Research findings: Key design criteria have been identified, such as zoning, modular construction, and energy-saving technologies. The results are applicable for building film complexes in Arctic regions.
Value: This study proposes a comprehensive approach to developing architectural and planning solutions for motion picture laboratories in the Arctic, taking into account its unique climatic and technological conditions.
