Guildhall by Koombe for Cafe Concrete

Guildhall by Koombe (Matthew Coombe): a survey of key architectural features of the futuristic 1950s interior created within Plymouth Guildhall’s Blitzed Victorian shell. Images of the features have been converted into ASCII – the character encoding standard for electronic communication that emerged around the time the Guildhall reopened. The music was created using sounds gathered from within the building. The melody was generated with reference to the patterns and geometries surveyed. This is one of the film/sound works commissioned by Cafe Concrete for the Atlantic Project. Cafe Concrete is a non-profit experimental sound and film collective, event and record label, centred on Plymouth, UK and curated by Matthew Coombe.   / cafeconcreteuk   Reduced to a shell during The Blitz, Plymouth’s Victorian Guildhall could have been lost to Plymouth’s post-war fervour for new building. Fortunately, the Council commissioned City Architect Hector Stirling to rebuild and remodel it, moving the entrance west to front Armada Way, the axial boulevard centrepiece of the Beaux-Arts 1943 Plan for the city centre. The main hall was faithfully restored, but other parts were radically remodelled in futuristic 1950s style – including sine wave ceilings, moon base domes and geometric panelling that would look at home in the vintage TARDIS.
