Chosen from 12 design proposals submitted by teams of first-year RCA architecture MA students, the winning design is called Pop-Down Square and is by Mike Lim, Shoichi Sado, Olivia Wright and Isobel Davies.
The design features an amphitheatre, outdoor cinema and a multipurpose public space close to Wembley Stadium.
The competition to design the new building was run in partnership with Brent Council and Meanwhile Space, a social enterprise that enables entrepreneurs and artists to make temporary use of empty commercial buildings. The aim of the project is to bring jobs, training and creativity to the area.
Local organisations, individuals, businesses and community groups are now being encouraged to bid to become tenants of the Pop-Down Square, in a nationwide competition called Make Your Idea Happen Here! by social enterprise scheme, The Coming Soon Club.
The chosen organisation will have access to the contemporary space on a five-year tenancy.
