An open competition for a new Art Park run by House for an Art Lover, the brief called for imaginative but realistic concepts for structures or installations to be set within the landscape at Bellahouston Park, Glasgow. 14 entries were received from which three proposals were chosen to develop with the intent of building one a year from 2006 – 2008, each for a budget of £100,000.
The scheme “Grass Roots”, created by by Gordon Gibb, Alasdair Tooze and Scott Young of Gareth Hoskins Architects, looks at the current routes through the park whilst reflecting on the city’s industrial trade growth of bygone centuries. The installation takes the form of a line through the park, passing through the remains of Bellahouston House, which also acts as a fulcrum for the design.
