The BFI National Archive has one of the largest and most significant film and television archive collections in the world. Our brief was complex but at the centre of this project was a wish to make the collection, together with newly emerging screen culture, fundamentally accessible and engaging both physically and virtually to everyone.
British Film Institute
Through an evidence-based approach to options development, A Different View with David Morley Architects explored and provided five options for the future of this globally significant archive, which is currently inaccessible, in the main, to the public.
The study consisted of a series of research activities followed by concept design proposals.
The work included nationally representative research to explore behaviours, needs and desires, physical and digital portfolio assessment across all BFI touchpoints, a creative process to develop ideas and evidence suitable for government level discussion.
