A huge thank you to all the BA students for their commitment and efforts in making this project come to life! It was great meeting and working with you.

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

Standing just behind the Ticket Booth desk. We have added a small module on its side which can be used as seating or storage.

The final Ticket Booth next to its friends and neighbours. Great sharing the quad with you guys and seeing some great work being made.

Nothing can substitute a handmade piece! Taken after a long day of waterproofing the cardboard tubes.

A massive thank you to our collaborator Paul from In-Situ for making this possible! It was a pleasure working with you and the college students.

Some beautiful sketches from the team during the design workshop.

The white caps were our finishing touch.

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.

Going for the last push on the construction of the ticket booth tomorrow. Our aim is to complete the construction and put together the ticket booth modules by the end of the day.

Tower coming up!

This side or the other?

Apart from being very cold outside at the Quad, it was a very productive day today!

We managed to get the seating and desk modules done! Hooraaaay!

The ticket booth starts to come to life and we are all very excited! Looking forward to moving onto the adjacent modules tomorrow.

Preparing the next move

Great start today guys! We are now more familiar with the construction process, which will make tomorrow's construction flow more efficiently. Let's meet at The Shed (Quad) @ 10:00. It's going to be a long day of construction, so get some rest tonight. See ya!

Tomorrow's plan of action.

Gluing = waterproofing

Brush, brush, brush!

Tomorrow's schedule.

Today we (1) received the cardboard tubes order, (2) cut the tubes to size, (3) masked them for painting, (4) spray painted them.

Go go go!

A few of our tubes have just arrived! Excited to get started today!

Getting closer to the final design of the ticket booth! Some great drawings by the team!

It's construction week! Yeah!

Some shots of Natalie, the architect involved in the Northlight Mill redevelopment, explaining the scheme.

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!

Great drawing session today. Fantastic ideas and drawings once again. We are starting to see a finalised design coming up. The cardboard tubes are arriving on Monday, so we are lookin. forward to start making the ticket booth! Yeeeeah!

Today we explored ideas ideas around the design of the ticket booth. Small mockups were used to test lightweight materials and connections.

Precedent of the theme COLOUR that got picked up today on many of the team's drawings.

As always, watch this space to stay updated!

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.

Group 5 keeps moving on!

Meeting today with Becky and the Technical Services Team, talking over our Risk Assessment form. It all looks good and positive!

We then got together and split the BA students into 3 groups, all led with 1 or 2 MArch students. Each group is task with designing a proposal for the pop-up outdoor cinema ticket booth and entrance, during Days 1-2 of the workshop.

We are now working on drafting a detailed Timetable for all days and activities.

Great meeting today!

We prepared the risk assessment and started drafting the timetable of the design and build workshop.

There is a great momentum and we are all very excited!

Great news!

We have managed to secure a space in the 'Quad' (outdoor area on the ground floor, by the workshops), for our building and making.

Woohoo!
