Ok John ok, it seems... John has another space, equally as exciting as the first, he's held it back until now and what can I say about it? It's, well... fantastic, industrial, raw, with a robust character which emanates from its original use as a mechanics yard and the structure is just as left. It's a relatively simple space as the pictures illustrate. It sits exactly opposite the site of the first. Composed of huge faded red and yellow steel girders, a steel and plastic corrugated roof and two sets of steel doors dividing the space into thirds. At the very back of the space there's a huge red steel platform, almost a stage with a secure area underneath. The floor is concrete, slightly uneven in places and contributes positively to its flavor, light seeps in from the one meter gap between the space the building adjacent of whose huge bricked up and broken windows provide additional character, perfect cavities for a lighting installation of some kind, again this could be a project that I put forward to some people on the course or a group of children?
This space as opposed to the other, is going to have to utilised relatively quickly due to its present stagnating. Immediate thoughts are to transform it minimally into a working studio area with a basic exhibition space with potential for market areas also, it could quite easily be divided into 3 generous spaces each boasting a plethora of floor space and of course accompanying complementary ceiling proportions.
