This project for the Aurora Picture Show, a non-profit media arts center that presents artist-made, non-commercial film and video, serves as an indoor/outdoor screening space serving the surrounding community. Positioned within the Menil campus behind a gray bungalow, the Aurora Picture Show has the option of showing both indoor and outdoor screenings.

A large window box operating as a dual direction projection screen allows this to happen. A door hinges to cover the window during indoor events while still having the option to open up to the exterior, activating the lawn space into a new outdoor theater area.
