Exhibition: Tuesday 1 August – Sunday 15 September
Imperial House, Hartcliffe, was the UK headquarters for Imperial
Tobacco. Completed in 1975, it was designed by American architects
Skidmore, Owings and Merrill with London based Yorke Rosenberg
Mardell.
The site became vacant in 1991 and the factory was demolished.
The remaining office building (Grade II listed in April 2000)
has been subject to vandalism and fire and is now in a dilapidated
state.
This exhibition shows how Urban Splash with Acanthus Ferguson
Mann propose to transform this derelict building and overgrown
landscape into a stunning example of urban living, and will look
at the wider aspects of regeneration in that part of South Bristol.
