Paul Stallan Studio’s Commonwealth Games project, led by architects Alistair Brand, Ian Harper and Paul Stallan, in collaboration with the City Legacy Development Consortium were approached by Glasgow City Council to create a masterplan providing accommodation for the 2014 Commonwealth Games bid. The site is located in Dalmarnock in the East End of the City an area in desperate need of investment and social regeneration. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The village site is located in the Dalmarnock area of Glasgow, approximately 5 kilometres south east of Glasgow City Centre. The site is bounded by the River Clyde to the south and east and the Celtic Football Club stadium to the North. During the 19th and mid 20th Centuries, the Dalmarnock area played a crucial role in the evolution of Glasgow as a formidable industrious force. Dalmarnock was an important part of a Glasgow wide powerhouse of the British Empire’s Second City attracting a wide range of industries including heavy engineering. For example iconic structures like the Forth Rail and The London Tower Bridge were all made in Dalmarnock.
