London Show - Freerange

After last weeks excitement of graduation we are getting our London show finished. This year we are building a hotel corridor to show you a unique perspective on our schemes.  The Bourmemouth show was just a dry run!

The projects are based on the redevelopment of the controversial IMAX Theatre and surrounding seafront location. On a site which currently highlights many negative aspects of the Bournemouth experience, the students consider the site’s important relationships to public spaces such as the beach, the lower gardens, the BIC, and the Russell Coates Museum, as well as local car parks.
