Hypo t h e s i s Forms of Regeneration on the Clyde

Opening Event: 28 Nov 2002, 7 9 p.m.
Exhibition dates: 29 Nov 1st Dec 2002, 2 7 p.m.
Glasgow, 4 Nov 2002 Great cities have great rivers.
Under this headline eleven international graduates from the Mackintosh
School of Architecture in Glasgow present Hypo t h e s i s - an exhibition
of their final year design proposals which focus on re-making the
River Clyde.
The idea behind the event is to showcase the thesis projects outside
the school in a different environment, presenting the work to the
general public in a more accessible way and to engage in an open public
discussion about the future of the Clyde.
The basis of all the propositions are architectural ideas which are
rooted in the landscape and the city, with visions of a sensitive
approach towards waterfront regeneration.
The organisers believe that Glasgow must develop an attitude to the
River Clyde to achieve the necessary identity for the city, and that
the current thinking on regeneration of the river is commercially
driven and lacks innovation and nerve.
Hypo t h e s i s makes use of the parasite concept
inhabiting vacant shop property. Disused spaces along the River Clyde
are transformed into temporary exhibition and event space. The concept
is site specific and can be adapted to different volumes making it
possible to use any shop size. Hypo t h e s i s blends in with the
surrounding urban fabric allowing an open approach by the local community
to reflect on ideas about the built environment, and provides a central
meeting place for the exchange of these ideas.
The installation should be seen as a platform to encourage not only
the building professions but also the general public in taking part
in a broader architectural discussion about the future of Glasgow
and the River Clyde.
The event is timed to coincide with the Regeneration of Glasgows
Clyde Waterfront Conference organised by the Royal Incorporation of
Architects in Scotland (RIAS). Hypo t h e s i s is also supported
by the Merchant City Townscape Heritage Initiative, Glasgow City Council
and the Glasgow School of Art.
