Design for an Icon


Blue River has created the identity for The Lubetkin Theatre, the much anticipated 220 seat theatre within the new £36m East Durham College, Peterlee.

Named in honour of the Russian born Architect Berthhold Lubetkin, a leading influence in modernism and who established the highly regarded Tecton movement. From 1947 to 1949 Berthhold was chief architect for Peterlee New Town and the naming pays tribute to his pioneering vision for the town.

Sasha Lubetkin, daughter of Berthold will officially open the theatre on 5th October 2009.
