Show time!
Bournemouth and London Shows.
This exhibition presents work completed by AUCB’s 2011 graduating students from the BA (Hons) Architecture Part 1 ARB/RIBA degree.
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.

Bournemouth bids for Queen's Jubilee city status
BBC Dorset 25th May 2011
Bournemouth would become the first city in Dorset if granted city status in 2012
Bournemouth will bid for city status in a competition to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee next year, a Dorset council has announced.
The government said towns bidding for city status should be "vibrant, welcoming communities".
The deadline for bids is Friday, with only one new city expected to be chosen early next year.
Pam Donnellan, chief executive of the borough council, said Bournemouth has a "strong case".
'Bold ambitions'
"Bournemouth is a successful, well established vibrant town with bold ambitions for our future," she added.
"We have a rich history and enjoy a diverse culture, an international reputation and strong economy.
"Previous winners have reported a boost in investment in their city, a rise in jobs, improved profile and reputation, and an increase in their opportunity to bid for additional and external sources of funding.
"Submitting a bid for city status is low cost, but the return from a successful bid would be immense."
Bournemouth did not enter the last city status competition to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002. Poole entered but was unsuccessful.
A spokesperson from the Borough of Poole said it will not bid to become a city on this occasion.
Bournemouth would become the first city in Dorset if granted city status in 2012.
Other towns competing for city status include Luton, Milton Keynes, Middlesbrough, Medway, Reading, Bolton, Swindon, Chelmsford, Stockport, Perth, Gateshead, Ballymena, Guildford, Southend-on-sea, Ipswich, Wrexham, Croydon and St Austell.

Zogolovitch launches mews housing scheme in south-east London
Developer Roger Zogolovitch has announced his latest project, a private mews of three detached, contemporary houses designed by local practice MW Architects in south-east London.
It is the third project by Solidspace, the developer led by Zogolovitch and his son Gus.
Its first, One Centaur Street, designed by dRMM, won the RIBA best building award, while the second, the Zog House, was shortlisted.
The latest, Essex Mews in Crystal Palace, is a modern take on the local Victorian and 1930s vernacular from the outside: slim-line brickwork and modern chimneys under slate roofs, and timber casement windows.
But inside, the houses couldn’t be more different from their neighbours.
Each measures 115sq m and has a split-section layout with a central staircase that aims to eliminate the dark corridors of a standard Victorian terrace.
The design centres on a large kitchen-diner which opens on to a back garden, with a living room half a storey up and a galleried study above that. The houses are topped off with the bedrooms and bathrooms.
Roger Zogolovitch said: ”All my friends want to live in my house, which I take as a good sign.
“Great architecture is not just about what a building looks like from the outside, but the feeling you get when you’re inside. Modern life demands flexible and bright spaces. For me, whatever I’m designing, it’s about creating moments of delight so we like to collaborate with young, up and coming architectural practices.”
