02 interpretive centre
brief: Although the existing People's
Palace on the Green displays a brief history of Glasgow, a more interactive
approach is required. The brief required a small interpretive centre
to include a multimedia presentation space, VDU's, administration and
a small cafe/bar.
site: Glasgow Green has served
as one of city's primary public spaces for almost 800 years. Located
close to the city centre and alongside the River Clyde it has played
a strong part in the history of Glasgow.
design:
The design would be a striking addition
to this mediocre landscape with its three distinct volumes of timber&glass,
aluminum and orange render, in connection with a 50metre long wall of
timber.
