Designing with dereliction is to give heritage to the artefacts of the landscape that we would rather ignore. Such places are shaped by the memories of development, the material of decline and the ecological possibility that comes from regeneration. Located in Govan, Glasgow, this site sits within the broader condition of post-industrial transition and is caught in the unsteady tension between social deprivation and environmental fragmentation. This project proposes interventions that support the gradual evolution of an urban ecosystem across scales and materialities, creating a common ground sustained through the evolving relationship between land, ecology and local community.
