Reflections on architecture

Not blogged much recently so thought I'd get back to it and let everyone know that Critical Dialogues, Scotland’s contribution to the Venice Biennale will be coming to Glasgow.

We will be popping up our Transient Gallery in three locations around Glasgow this coming Saturday, 16th February so if anyone is interested in having a look or even helping out you're more than welcome.

The schedule will go something like this:

Location 1: 11am   // The corner of Shamrock St & New City Rd diagonally opposite Stow College

Location 2: 1pm     // Opposite The Citizens Theatre on Gorbals St

Location 3: 3pm     // Behind the arch at the Saltmarket entrance to Glasgow Green

The Transient Gallery will be part of a new exhibition, organised by Architecture and Design Scotland, opening at The Lighthouse on February 22 ^nd, exploring what happened when four young Scottish architectural practices went to the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2012 to showcase a new type of architecture to an international audience.

The architecture practices – DO Architecture, GRAS, Pidgin Perfect and Stone Opera – responded to the Biennale’s theme ‘Common Ground’ by organising a week-long sequence of activities that engaged with marginalised places and social organisations.

The exhibition is supported by Scottish Government, British Council and Creative Scotland, and was originally curated by Jonathan Charley, Strathclyde University. It is open to the public from February 22nd and runs until April 10th in Gallery 2, Level 2, The Lighthouse, 11 Mitchell Lane, Glasgow. Admission free. For more information click here.
