In the summer of 2010, Joe Halligan and a group of architecture friends decided to turn a disused petrol station in East London into a cinema.

Join George Lamb as he talks to Joe about what he thinks the real role of Architecture is, and how community-first projects are essential for turning the cities we inhabit into utopias.
