Fetching Folly For a Flyover Cinema in London is Built With Only Reclaimed Materials

The British non-profit organization <a href="http://www.follyforaflyover.co.uk/about/">Assemble</a> constructed this fetching temporary cinema out of donated and reclaimed materials in an unusual spot: under a London motorway flyover. Called "Folly for a Flyover," the building is made from wood and <a href="http://inhabitat.com/andy-goldsworthys-alderney-stones-are-massive-balls-of-melting-clay/2/">clay bricks</a> and receives structural support from scaffolding held together with rope and solid knots. This homespun cinema lovingly erected by a team of committed volunteers will provide sustainable culture all summer long, after which it will be disassembled and re-purposed.

The Folly for a Flyover Cinema was constructed under a London motorway flyover.

A team of Assemble volunteers put the cinema together in one month.

All of the materials were donated or reclaimed.

The building is made from wood and clay bricks and receives structural support from scaffolding.

The scaffolding is held togheter by rope and solid knots!

During the day the building acts as an event venue, a cafe, and even a launching pad for recreational water sports.

By night, it hosts either cinema, performance, or plays.

This homespun theater will be under the flyover for six weeks.

At the end of the summer, its use played out, the cinema will be disassembled.

And all of the materials will be put to some other creative use.

We love this project: simple, creative, but sustainable and wholesome.
