exterior, by Renzo Mazzolini

As in previous years, Keppie Design's Glasgow office will be opening their building for Doors Open Day this Saturday 20th September, from 10am till 4pm. Our office is housed in the former John Ross Memorial Church for the "Institute for the Adult Deaf and Dumb" and was converted in 1991 to form our company headquarters.

We are once again teaming up with Ozturk Modelmakers, who recently held their "Unbuilt Mackintosh" exhibition in our office. Four of the five models will be on display on Saturday and David Stark, our Managing Director, will be giving a talk about them and the company's link with Charles Rennie Mackintosh at 10.15am and 1.45pm.

Glasgow’s Zoo to Open up
Zoo are taking part in Glasgow Doors Open Day on 20 September 2003. The office will be open from 10 am to 1pm to allow people access to our unique views of Glasgow Central Station and to view an exhibition of Zoo's work. We are creating an exhibition wall 4875 mm x 2445 mm of 480 mm square tiles of work - these are being created using shredded architectural information, drawings, regulations, photos etc and will be our take on architecture. The wall will be very photogenic and provide a different perspective on our work. There will be examples of models around the room and slide shows of our work on the computers.

Zoo Projects featured in Doors Open Day include the
Tramway Theatre and Wee Peoples City (Lighthouse). North Edinburgh Arts Centre is open during Edinburgh's Doors Open Day and features on the cover of their brochure.
