Ambitious plans have been announced for the future of Battersea Arts Centre, a year after the Grand Hall fire that devastated the historic building.

A moving museum, Grand Hall refurbishment and a new season of work were announced at the end of last week, by David Jubb, the Artistic Director and his team at the centre.

On March 13 last year, the Grand Hall was devastated by a fire that tore through the Grade II listed building just as it was coming to the end of it £13.3m renovation.

Mr Jubb said: "The response was nothing short of extraordinary, and we would like to thank everybody for the response last year.

"Spaces that belong to everybody are held in people's esteem.

"There will be shows, creative change projects and everything in between. We are looking forward to that point in 2018."

Plans to repair the Grand Hall have been submitted to Wandsworth Council, and include an intention to restore the hall to its original look while making improvements to the technical infrastructure for future performances.

The plaster ceiling that was destroyed will be replaced with a lattice design, open to the roof void, enabling better acoustics and allowing rigging and lighting through the ceiling.

The courtyard will become an open air theatre for summer shows.

Imogen Long, an architect from Haworth Tompkins, said: "The approach is to keep everything that is still there and build back with respect to the design of the previous hall.

"It will be redesigned to prevent noise going out to neighbours, so gigs and performances can be held."

The centre has submitted four separate planning applications to cover each aspect of the rebuild, and it is hoped the decision will be taken at the end of May.

Battersea Arts Centre announced it would be launching a moving museum, a collection of artefacts and pieces that will be taken around the borough on bicycles, to schools and libraries to share the heritage of the borough with residents in workshops and talks.

A "creative hub" is set to be launched in 2018 when the Grand Hall reopens, providing affordable space for start-up businesses to work in exchange for two hours a month of their time to be dedicated to workshops for the artists and groups using the centre.

The London Stories show is making a return too, with a new focus on the refugee crisis.

Artists involved will tell their stories in various rooms of the centre, lit by candlelight, and share an object that represents their journey to London.

The centre also announced the title of the next season as "Cash, Capitalism and Corporations" and the return of live music to the venue.
