Care For The Existing
Glasgow, UKThis collection of photos serves as a case study from the time when I was studying at architecture school. I visited Dundasvale court on numerous occasions to capture images and gain an understanding of the complex and bittersweet nature of these council houses.
Despite the city experiencing multiple demolitions and reconstructions, this vast council estate, which has been home to over 700 families, still stands in the heart of Glasgow today. While it is certain that there have been several bitter stories associated with this place, I believe that there must be some sweetness to be found as well.
It is fascinating to consider the history of this location and how it has evolved over time. These photos provide a glimpse into the architecture and lifestyle of a bygone era, and it is interesting to contemplate how these buildings have impacted the lives of those who have lived there. Through my visits to Dundasvale court and the documentation of these photos, I have gained a deeper appreciation for the complexities of architecture and the impact that it can have on communities.
