Marketing & Exhibition Centre
For The Bristol Development Corporation
The Corporation required a relocatable, innovative exhibition
space to display its planned regeneration, providing a stimulating
experience for a range of visitors.
The design provides a 7 m high viewing platform with canvas
canopy, surrounding a smaller higher "crows nest"
for more distant views. The open exhibition space, in a radiating
form, provides a sequence of display areas and meeting rooms.
The primary beams and columns came to site folded to the mast,
minimising construction period and helping future relocation.
