Public Art
Discover our fascinating new public art trail which features a series of sculptural pieces by acclaimed artist Alex Chinneck.
Public Art
A traditional British phone box whose body twists through 720 degrees, titled ‘Wring ring’, now stands outside ‘Building A’. Cast in metal with rippling, glazed windows that follow its twisting form, the phone box is illuminated at night.
Two new pairs of knotted lamp posts add to the playful personality and illumination of the site. Also cast in metal, the first pair are tied into a large bow, while the second pair wrap closely around each other as if held in an embrace, leading the artist to name them ‘First kiss at last light’
Painted pillar-box red, ‘Alphabetti Spaghetti’, the knotted post box complements the cobbles of Cheese Lane and the colourful design of Assembly’s painted steel girders.
Waterside Community
Bristol is shaped by its waterways, and Assembly’s prime location on the regenerated waterfront places it firmly at the heart of the city.
Waterside park
Directly outside the entrance of Building B you’ll find the imaginatively landscaped Waterside Park - an exciting new public destination for Bristol. The new Park is one of three unique landscaped areas designed to enhance the biodiversity of this part of the city. The planting includes 29 trees of five different varieties, and a multitude of plant species including 3,200 plants and bulbs. Assembly’s open harbourside areas are perfect for relaxing and hosting outdoor activities, and create a new urban haven for the occupiers of the buildings and public to enjoy.
