We visited Kilcreggan this week as we continue to develop ideas
for the GIA Design Competition which seeks proposals for the
village. Although we didn't see it at its finest due to inclement
June weather, the visit got the ideas flowing and the design review
which followed back at the office certainly benefited from the trip
down.
The competition brief asks for ideas on attracting and retaining
business and tourism as well as proposals for improvements to the
fabric of the settlement and how Kilcreggan can make the most of
its location.
We also took delivery this week of the book "Firth Piers" by Tom
Witham of Dress for the Weather. Tom worked with us during his Part
1 Year Out and again during his Post Graduate studies and the
book is a beautiful journey tracing the old steamboat piers at the
Clyde Firth. It certainly has provided a lot of inspiration for our
competition entry so far.
The submission deadline is July the 18th and we will be posting
our submission images in due course.
