Ridley Road Outdoor Cinema - Section A

Section drawing, pen, pencil and crayon on yellow trace paper. The drawing is from the speculative architectural project 'Ridley Road Outdoor Cinema'.

The project proposed an open-air cinema that would sit above the market, minimising disruption to its daily operation while adding a new cultural layer to the street. The idea drew on the area’s historic links to theatres and cinemas and aimed to extend the vibrant daytime life of the market into the evening. At night, films would be projected from a small cupola on the roof of the building across the street onto a large screen mounted on the blank façade of a nearby shopping centre, turning the street itself into a public auditorium.

The print is landscape and at either A3 or A4 on 165gsm matt paper. It will arrive unframed in a post tube.
