John Knight's Cinemas
During his architectural career, John Knight designed eighteen* cinemas and also served as a consultant to cinema circuit owners, advising them on the viability of their acquisitions when expanding their chains. In many cases, he recommended feasible adaptations and additions, such as increasing capacity by adding a balcony to single-floor cinemas.
