New lease of life for National Assembly for Wales building

By Sarah Todd    30 Jul 2010

Llanelli-based Vaughan Sound Installations (VSI), part of the PAI Group, has installed and integrated new sound, lighting, video and control elements for The Pierhead in Cardiff Bay, transforming the main room of the Grade I listed building of the National Assembly for Wales into a multi functional space.

It's one of Cardiff's most familiar landmarks, originally built in 1897 as the HQ for the Bute Dock Company.

The stunning venue's main hall can now be run as an interactive visitor attraction or used for varied events and functions. VSI worked to a technical specification originated by theatre consultant Paul Covell, adding their own expertise and specialist knowledge.

The new installation includes a projection system that shows a seven minute video biography detailing the history of the Pierhead. This combines various archival and current materials and is projected onto six large electric roll-down screens. The projection is via six Panasonic machines.

The History Show is fully automated. The content is replayed from a 7th Sense Delta media server, and at the heart of it is an AMX control system which can be manually triggered from a preset control panel in reception. This allows the show to be run when there are enough people in the space, complete with all the audio, lighting and video switching and triggering.
