The Film Platform Brief

The Site | The Cinema Museum, Kennington, South London

The Client | Martin and Ron, the owners of the museum ( and the volunteers)

The Brief | To complete a design proposal for a Cinema Museum for the 21st century using the Cinema Museum in Kennington as the site, through comprehensive research, application of cinematic and architectural processes, methodologies and contemporary contexts. To develop an innovative, dynamic approach to spatial design and to explore the design of Space in Film, Space for film and Space through film.

I should critically question the conventions in Film and Spatial design.

The catalyst for the project is watching and analysing films, design and spatial qualities.

Learning Outcomes I should meet:

3A Context and Condition

• Analyse the site, building, context and condition.
• Establish a design brief for a new social programme
• Establish methodologies and typologies of the studio group
• Produce a final design proposition and programme to establish its direction
• Create a design brief
• Critically evaluate the project
• Communicate responses to the site and context using analytical studies

3B Resolution and Depiction

• A script, a site, a set, a space, a film.
• Communicate ideas about spatial organisation, material, concerns and experiments.
• Produce a detail design and depiction of fabrication and construction techniques.
• Establish a personal identity t the project.
• Design and present a spatial 3d project in a stimulating portfolio and verbally.
• Develop the design brief with sufficient research.
• Produce drawings to show the design proposition.
• Demonstrate an understanding of the principles related to the platform.
• Synthesis my knowledge and skills for the final presentation.
