Architecture celebrates human history; it must constantly adapt to a changing world.

During my experience at the Glasgow School of Art, I developed a particular interest in preserving architecture and its history. I believe in the validity of restoring old, forgotten structures by redefining them anew, thus connecting the past with the present. My final year project focused on this historical aspect. The landmark of one of Glasgow’s most vibrant areas has been in decline for years. Proposing an entertainment venue in the heart of a rapidly growing neighbourhood offers a unique place to meet and socialise.

Caledonia Church

Caledonia Church

Caledonia Church is a versatile music and arts venue located in an abandoned Presbyterian Church. It offers a unique space for people to relax, socialise and experience live music in an interesting setting. During the day, the venue provides a range of workshops that include storytelling, drama club, poetry reading, instrument playing, and singing classes. The concept focuses on creating a place for a community to gather, which is crucial in a rapidly expanding neighbourhood like Gorbals. The site also accommodates a private, small outdoor amphitheatre. It perfectly complements the main building as both a garden and an event space.
