How would you re-design your city?
Six Cities Design Festival asked Evening
Times’ readers what were the major issues
affecting Glasgow’s city centre and what
they would like to see redesigned. Issues
included litter, traffic congestion, pedestrian
facilities, public spaces and the river. The
most pressing suggestions were given
to four top designers, who have created
designs to respond to these issues. This
exhibition showcases their responses and
demonstrates how improved design can
impact on our cities and our lives. Look out
for our designers creating new spaces in
various locations across the city during the
Six Cities Design Festival.

competition and it is central to the Design
into Business programme. By invitation only,
this event will offer a business audience the
opportunity to gain valuable insight from

Level 4 Gallery 4
The focus of the exhibition is
on the zone that stretches between and
connects Scotland’s two expanding
major cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
It examines the potential for future
development, specifically the aspects
of sustainable movements between the
two cities; ranging from transportation
and commerce, demographics and
migration, settlements and built structures.
Explorations by national and international
architects and key decision makers will be
shown, projecting future propositions for
further discussion.
Part of the ACCESS to Architecture: The Lighthouse
campaign on architecture supported by The Scottish
Executive. The exhibition is developed in collaboration
with Sust. - The Lighthouse on Sustainability.
Foreign Bodies
28 Mar – 7 May 07
Level 4 Circulation
Foreign Bodies tells a story
through text and photography about
the history of two cities - Marseille and
Glasgow. There is much that they share
in common, not least a passion for politics,
football, alcohol, the weather and verbal
trickery. Moreover they are connected
historically in their roles as imperial and
industrial cities. Imagined as an illustrated
dialogue, the two cities reminisce about
their rise and subsequent decline,
reflecting on the contemporary attempts
to restructure their economies and give
them a face-lift.
This project was originally commissioned by The
Lighthouse as part of Made in Scotland: A series
of events across Marseille celebrating Scotland’s
Architecture in October 2004.
