Awarded ‘Best Future Building’ at the 2010 Scottish Design Awards, 7N Architects + RankinFraser Landscape Architecture’s Garscube Landscape Link re-joins the city’s severed connection with a pedestrian friendly solution. The project is the first step in the area’s larger revitalization plan to link the canal network and Glasgow’s City Center.
More about the projects and more images after the break.
The 14 hectares of Speirs Locks was a thriving trading center that has now become deserted land due to the decline of the industry and the construction of M8 motorway in the 1960s. The team’s proposal is a solution to repair the severed ties between the canal and the city, transforming the space into a new public realm fit for cyclists and pedestrians.
