The Lift is a new venue on the cutting edge of portable structure technology. Highly flexible, and an exemplar of sustainable, environmentally-friendly design, The Lift is a theatre, a concert hall, an open-air stage, an interactive billboard, a cinema, a venue for exhibitions and a public meeting space.
Designed and built in collaboration with hundreds of Londoners, The Lift is the heart of our organisation.
Digital designer and LIFT International Associate Roma Patel (UK) collaborated with students from Nottingham Trent University to film the process of creating a new meeting space: from initial conception to the build.
