Bold Theatre sits in Elephant & Castle, south London. From the street, the building reads as plain, easy to walk past. Inside, it runs workshops, rehearsals, and community sessions. The five-week brief asked us to spend real time on site, understand what was happening inside the building, and respond to what we found.

- Repeated visits to the site at different times of day. - Interviews with people connected to the theatre: (add: who. Staff, participants, neighbours, passers-by?). - Observation of how the building was used vs. how it was perceived from outside. - Note-taking, photos, and short recordings as the raw material.

The strongest thing we found was a perception gap, not a missing service or a broken journey. The exterior hid the warmth and activity the interior held. People walking past had no signal that any of it was happening. The design question became: how do you make the inside legible from the outside without flattening what makes the place specific?

(add: a paragraph describing the intervention. Façade work, fabric, mirrors, public interaction, or whatever the final outcome was. Include one or two images if possible.)

(add: what you specifically did in the group: research lead, interviewer, prototyper, documentation, etc. Be specific, not generic.)

(add: one honest reflection, a decision you'd revisit with what you know now. Keep it short.)
