At Bristol is the main attraction of the fast developing Harbourside area in central Bristol. The centre occupies several former industrial buildings as well as modern additions. There are three principal attractions: Explore, an interactive science exhibition; Wildwalk, a multimedia wildwalk complex and an IMAX cinema. Additional attractions include a shiny spherical planetarium located on the Millennium square and an indoor "tropical forest"
On the ground floor of the At Centre there one of the Tourist Info Centres is located.
The whole thing was aggressively marketed but it did not seem that successful to me since every time I passed by the complex seemed rather empty. Later I read that the Wildwalk and an IMAX cinema were closed due to high operating deficits. Since it seems to me that the success of the Harbourside area will largely depend on this Centre let's hope it will see its better days and Harbourside won't become one of the boring areas with generic office and residential buildings.

The Millennium Square is central open space of the Harbourside area, located above the huge underground car park next to the At-Bristol Centre. The square was also designed by Alec French Architects. In their design they concentrated on water and light features as well as the public art.
The square was one of the Millennium projects for Bristol and was the winner of Civic Trust National Award For Urban Design and RTPI Award for Planning In The Public Realm.
I must say that water features look interesting and terracota-clad ventilation towers are interesting during the night when they are colorfully lit. But this square desperately lacks one thing: Users! It was empty all the time and I felt like a suspect surrounded by numerous CCTV cameras. I have a feeling that too much attention was given to design and too little to planning and programming.
And why did they put the running water on the only element of urban design that looks like a bench? Leave a Comment

Wildwalk
journey from the origins of life to the ends of the Earth - spy inside a spider’s web, come face-to-face with scorpions and walk through a tropical forest with free flying birds and butterflies.
Explore
the first true 21st century science centre – play virtual volleyball, enter the eye of a tornado, or be the star of your own TV show
IMAX® Theatre
visit Cyberworld, float in space, or swim with dolphins – with a screen that is four storeys high and digital surround sound, it’s the next best thing to being there
Education
a one-stop destination for a great day out with endless educational opportunities. Students will be interested and inspired, seeing new ways of looking at the world
Linking the exhibitions, Open Spaces are full of discovery and surprise. A complex of new public squares - full of shops, cafes and places to relax. You can enjoy the stimulation of public art in the form of beautiful water and light features, sculptures and landscaping, then watch as these become the exciting backdrop for live performances and multi-media activities for both day and night viewing.

@ Bristol is a complex of several activities; a hands-on, science based 'exploratorium'; a fun filled wildlife zone and an IMAX cinema (and probably more, we didn't have enough time to explore it all). My daughter's favorite was the TV studio on the first floor Leave a Comment Address: Harbourside, Bristol, BS1 5DBPhone: 0845 345 1235Directions: Behind the Watershed, a few minutes walk from the city centreWebsite: http://www.at-bristol.org.uk/
