Flower Phoenix Project in Glasgow Scotland by RankinFraser Architecture and Architects 7N
Key areas Speirs Regeneration in Glasgow has been completed with the opening of the Link Garscube, new public areas of intervention that links back to the North Glasgow back to the city center. This project was designed by 7N RankinFraser Architects and Landscape Architecture for the Glasgow Canal Regeneration Partnership (GCRP), a partnership between Glasgow City Council and ISIS Waterside Regeneration, supported by British Waterways Scotland.
Garscube link has been baptized “The Flowers of Phoenix”, a reference to the Phoenix Park earlier that once occupied the site before construction of the highway. Speirs Lock covers 14 hectares of low-grade industrial land, abandoned by the Forth and Clyde canal in the north of Glasgow City Centre. This is the point of the gate, the threshold of pedestrians that connects large areas of North Glasgow back to the City Centre. Existing route is a very hostile environment: dark, dirty, noisy and intimidating.
This threshold revitalized downtown link to connect to the new landscape, currently on the site, which establish the road from the underpass to the canal basin at the top of the hill. The tunnel is the first phase of the regeneration framework for key areas Speirs, developed by 7N Architects and Landscape Architecture RankinFraser. This framework focuses on the regeneration strategy, entitled “Growing Places” which seeks to change the negative perception of the area by developing a set of physical and economic conditions that encourage colonization by a creative group that will, in turn, encourage the regeneration of the wider region.
