Today was also my first look at ‘23 Stories’, a collaborative project between our studio @pidginperfect and artist studio #WAVE. The permanent installation in a small newly developed residential courtyard tells the story of a multi-story tower block which once rose 23 storeys high from the site. The installation comprises of story tablets that form the shape of where a living room once was and provide memories from the residents of old multi-story tower block. #glasgow #scotland #uk #art #architecture #artist #architects #artwork #community #design #pollokshaws #regeneration #greenspace #stone #landscape #stories #storytelling (Taken with Instagram at Riverford, Pollokshaws )
