South Facade, Gordon Street
Central School for English Language + Literature, Glasgow
“we...shall have to take our inspiration from the city...a changing pattern of qualities and a variety of places more or less separated physically but without forfeiting their social connections” Herman Hertzberger
The school is located in Gordon Street, Glasgow and will strengthen the street as an urban hallway to the city. The project explores the scales of the city outside to the city inside the school.
The idea of the school as a city strengthens Gordon Street as a place for interaction and an invitation to learn. The school will be a familiar place to local students, and a welcome to new foreign nationals. It is a link between the assembly points of travel and leisure with Glasgow City.
