The Fold is a women-focused making and cultural space located within 520 Sauchiehall Street. Responding to the site’s history of positioning women as objects of display, this project explores how spatial design can address gendered inequalities in public space, with a focus on access to hands-on making environments.

Femininity is explored throughout as both a conceptual and material language. Stereotypical feminine aesthetics are contrasted with an angular spatial language and raw industrial materials, creating an atmosphere shaped by contrast and tension. The project aims to foreground women within both cultural and fabrication spaces while challenging traditional narratives of representation.
