GRO U P 15 Conor Blakeman, Justin Frank, Mark Shtanov + Alice Hewitt, Sorella Smith As a film institute, the brief called for the building to spread awareness of film, not merely be another multiplex. Responding to this we created a building on the river in Bath that would allow floating cinemas to be deployed to the surrounding towns and villages along the rivers and canal network, truly bringing film to the people.

The building consists of a weathered-steel ‘spine’, onto which these timber-clad ‘pods’ dock. By building on the east side of the river, we leave the gardens as they are and regenerate an area into a vibrant celebration of the arts.
