The Golden Tenement
Glasgow - Architecture and Jewellery workshop with Marianne Anderson
The People’s Palace, Glasgow, 10 November 2012
Rogano Window Display
11 Exchange Place, Glasgow, G1 3AN
During the run of the exhibition at the People’s Palace, Rogano Oyster Bar are hosting an offsite display of the ‘Common Wealth’ souvenir prototype by Katy West.
The display features specially commissioned fabric and tea cloths manufactured by the Centre for Advanced Textiles, Glasgow School of Art. The digital textile printing technology employed by the centre allows designs and images to be printed straight from the computer screen onto fabric creating exciting opportunities for customised design and allowing photographic quality reproduction onto natural fibres, such as silk, wool, linen and cotton.
The Golden Tenement Talk
Owen Hatherley
‘The Scottish Difference, or lack thereof’
This talk aims to place, from an outsider’s perspective, Scottish cities’ distinctive architecture and urbanism in the context of the particularly capitalist urban (and suburban) development of the UK, and asks whether or not particularly Scottish models - whether the oddly Nordic planning of Cumbernauld or the tenement revival - are in fact any different from those operating in England, and whether they can offer any alternatives to the currently dysfunctional built environment.
The Golden Tenement Talk
Panel Discussion
An introduction by Owen Hatherley was followed by a panel discussion with contributions from Neil McGuire, Neil Gray, Ben Spencer and Ewan Imrie which tackled the following open questions:
* Can the ‘tenement’ be argued to be the best housing model for Glasgow?
* How has the urban renaissance of recent years defined architectural ‘style’ within our cities and how has this redevelopment and ‘regeneration’ had impact on communities.
* How do the previous questions relate to the idea of ‘mega-events’ with particular reference to Glasgow and the 2014 Commonwealth Games?

FOUND with Chemikal Underground
Great Circle
FOUND question whether a souvenir need necessarily be a physical product and have collaborated with Glasgow based independent record label Chemikal Underground to create an audio-visual souvenir app designed to actively encourage users to return to the Commonwealth Games 2014 sites across Glasgow. Depending on the user’s global positioning, each audio-visual app will reveal more and more of a specially created piece of music and accompanying artwork.
FOUND’s souvenir app is called Great Circle after the ‘great-circle distance’ method used to calculate the user’s distance from Glasgow.
As a souvenir it actively encourages you back to the place that it commemorates. When you experience the app you will see an image and hear some music created by FOUND. Exactly what you see and hear will be determined by where you are in the world and by which direction you are travelling in relation to Glasgow.
