Energy, Landscape, Culture The Urban Food Exchange (UFEx)

Location: Applecross Basin, Forth & Clyde Canal, Glasgow
Year: 2021/22


The Urban Food Exchange is an institution for nutritional, agricultural and horticultural learning, production, and exchange, a place where hand, mind and spirit are placed in creative collaboration, with the long term goal of sustainable urban food production and distribution for the city’s nutritional needs.

Adapting The Library

Location: Borrowstounness (Bo’Ness), Falkirk
Year: 2021

Located on the banks of the Firth of Forth, the former industrial town of Bo’Ness follows the trend of many post-industrial landscapes across the UK. A declining town centre, paired with the disparition between local trades and local identity leaves the town stagnated in the present.

The historic 17th Century library lies in the heart of town but is left underused and underappreciated.

By bringing a new lease of life to the existing structure, the project hopes to invigorate community engagement and questions the role of the library in the digital age.






Live/Work

Location: New Lanark, South Lanarkshire
Year: 2020/21

Ryan Woods & Isaac Stanesby

Investigating the potential of architecture to address the ecological crisis, the project speculatively offers people a social, intellectual and spatial framework from where to interact and contribute creatively to the environment in which they live.

Here, architecture is seen as a tool for conviviality.





Joy

Location: Pittenweem, Fife
Year: 2020

The historic tidal pool in the East Neuk village of Pittenweem has progressively fallen into disrepair; quite literally eroding into the north sea.

Inspired by a trip to the bathouses of Budapest, Hungary, the proposal suggests the rejuvination of the tidal pool along with a series of hot pools; re-strengthening the village’s connection to the water.
