DECADE: Can buildings tell our story? Cultural buildings in Scotland
Join Architecture and Design Scotland for their third DECADE talk on Thursday 27 August.
In the past ten years Scotland’s cultural spaces have ramped up a gear – from Shetland through to the Borders, Lottery funded project have enabled a wide range of cultural buildings from the developments of new visitor centres to the reconfiguration of the key galleries and museums. These cultural buildings are where contemporary architecture is at its most accessible. This event will look at the people, elements and processes that work towards them – from to client to content. The event will also ask what lies ahead?
The speakers represent various aspects and roles from a broad variety of cultural buildings and the different content and activities they hold, including collections, historical events and movement.
