Site

Opened in 1896 and Situated in the West End of Glasgow, the Botanic Gardens Railway station lies deralict after its final line closure in 1964. Although used as the background in films and urban explorer Youtube videos, the site hasn’t been occupied since 1970 after a lit cigarette burnt the gardens station building to the ground. Proposals have came and gone over the years, including a proposal to turn the site into a nightclub, but nothing ever came to fruition.

The underground positioning of the proposed site allows Search Engine users to escape the chaos of their digitally infused infrastructures, facilitating a detox from the smartphone dominated world that exists above ground.
