A little film we made

In August of last year we made a short film telling you about Industri[us] and our Festival of Upcycling in Canning Town… we thought it was about time we share it with you!

‘Closed Loops in Meanwhile Construction’ – talk feat. Festival of Upcycling

Soundings — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:42:14 +0000

Moira Lascelles from the Architecture Foundation will present her recent research commissioned by the London Legacy Development Corporation which examines a selection of national and international creative re-use case studies, including Industri[us].

The research assembles a series of lessons learnt to inform the potential creation of a Materials Reuse Centre in East London on an interim use site. This facility would potentially aid the construction of future meanwhile projects on or around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and also offer building materials and components for sale to the wider public for reuse.

For further information on the event, including details on the other speakers, see R-urban Wick.

We are so proud to have our first major gig on the Industri[us] site be such a big one. We are delighted to welcome one of Britain’s best SKA bands The Communicators to play on Friday night.

Just imagine the legendary band playing with the background of our fantastic structure above, you sitting back drinking quality Real Ale and Real Cider from the Dorset Cider House, enjoying the fantastic street food on offer with the Urban Feasts street food, brushing up on the authentic East London history with the Cockney Museum and enjoying Pie&Mash whose recipe has been unaltered for over 100 years all whilst marvelling at the fact that everything on site is either on loan by one of our kind supporters, has been saved from the landfill or has gained a new lease of life due to the ingenuity of one of partners.
