During my fourth year, I focused on community exhibition spaces and their potential contribution to the well-being and communication of local residents of Govanhill. I chose the Govanhill Picture House as the site, which is an Egyptian-themed cinema built in 1926. It was used as a cinema until 1961 and then as a bingo hall. Subsequently, the building was used as a warehouse. The project is proposed as a community exhibition space containing exhibitions of images and sounds that incorporate the historical heritage and collective memory of the area. As well as a small screening space. I have also enhanced the visitor experience through the choice of materials to create an intimate, calm and gentle environment.
