Group 05 1:1
Former disused Northlight Mill set to be the home of a new Arts and Cultural centre for Pendle, East Lancashire. It will be developed after a successful bid to Arts Council England by In-Situ, our collaborator, a non-profit arts organisation based in Pendle. The Garage, part of In-Situ’s current on-going projects, is set to be redeveloped as part of the wider Northlight Mill Masterplan into an Arts Exhibition space. Through a two week workshop of design and making, we aim to produce a 1:1 final output that will compliment the proposed open-air cinema at the Northlight Mill Arts Centre redevelopment. // Download Poster
The Ticket Booth is going to be put up on a film screening in Pendle on the 28th of June!
We are all very excited about this!
It will then be used for further Pop-Up Cinema Screening during the summer on its site within the Northlight Mill in Brierfield

Huge congratulations to the team for all their great efforts in the construction of the ticket booth!
2 days of design and 6 days of building to create something that will become the centrepiece of the pop-up outdoor cinema in Brierfield!
It was so much fun making this, from the site visit to conception and implementation. Through the tens of problems we tackled every day and multiple espresso shots along the way.
More images to follow. Also keep an eye for the video coming up tomorrow.

Paul from In-Situ Art Practice and the students from the art college in pendle review our ticket booth designs and decide on their favourite concepts. An undulating wall that organically reflects the landscape with colours to match the doors of the new art studio in the Brierfield Mill - oranges on the ground, greens on first.

Yesterday we were joined by our collaborator In-Situ and a group of brilliant Art and Media students from the College of Art in Pendle.
We started off with a design session, continuing from the previous day. The Art and Media students were then involved in commenting on the designs and highlighting key elements that could fit in well with the community in Brierfield. They then proposed a colour scheme derived from the natural shades of colour falling on the Brierfield Hill, along with a logo for the Brierfield Cinema.
Thank you for coming all the way to Manchester to join us! It was great to have you.
On Monday we expect the delivery of the cardboard tubes. Once they arrive we can start making the ticket booth! Excitiiiiiing! See you all on Monday!

Good job everyone! Today it was a really long day, thanks for everyone's coming.We saw a lot of nice ideas and drawings today, and we will go more specific into our 1:1 model day by day.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow !
Posted 19 Apr 2018 20:01
It was a nice trip yesterday, especially for you guys who from the first and the second years. A good architect is not only about designing on the paper, how to design the construction details and how to solve the issues on site are also really important.

We are currently going through compiling the 'brief' and 'timetable' for the 2-week workshop.
We are also in constant communication with our collaborator and some possible sponsors in an attempt to secure a budget which we believe will really push the idea into implementation, and help create something of value for the community.
