Hi I am looking for a 5th year regeneration thesis project and was taken by how strongly people felt about the closure of the paramount cinema. I would really like to consider to use this building as my project, perhaps reinstate it as a cinema/ film museum/restaurant/bar? I would love to inject some of the original life, energy and flare back into. Unfortunately i am not familar with newcastle and was wandering if any one could sketch out a quick map to show me its rough position and surrounding buildings? I have have got maps off the net though one shows a metro station opposite it and another shows tyneside cinema? how come the paramount was shut but tyneside seems to be busy? where are they in reference to each other? does any one have any pics of the surrounding building types? functions?
Also could anyone give me a rough idea of the size of the building? ie footprint area/overall area/number of floors etc.
Thank you any help would be great!
