Film screening and panel discussion with Owen Luder
// Thurs 20th Jan
// 5.30pm
// Ulster Museum
?Get Luder' follows Owen Luder as one of his most famous buildings, the Get Carter car park in Gateshead, is scheduled for demolition. This is nothing new for the once acclaimed 81-year-old Brutalist pioneer. His concrete giant, the Tricorn Centre in Portsmouth, is already down, and his other iconic Gateshead structure, the Dunston Rocket, faces a similar fate.
?Get Luder' charts his last-ditch bid to force a reappraisal and reinvention of the car park made famous by the Michael Caine gangster ?lm as demolition day looms, and views a man struggling to retain his pride and dignity as he watches his work destroyed in his own lifetime.
This one-off event brings the architect and ?lm-makers to Belfast to discuss the issues of demolition, redevelopment and membership of the “Rubble Club”.
