    Some Thoughts on Glasgow's New Gorbals

    Built historiography in Glasgow’s New Gorbals – the Crown Street Regeneration Project Florian Urban In 2000, the Crown Street Regeneration Project in Glasgow’s Gorbals was completed after a master plan by Piers Gough of the London firm CZWG - Campbell, Zogolovitch, Wilkinson, Gough (Fig. 1). The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) commended the project as a ‘highly livable neighbourhood with well-placed community facilities and attractive public spaces.’1 Built on symbolically contested grounds that were previously occupied by the Gorbals tenements (1870s-1960s) and the high-rise Hutchesontown flats (1960s- 1990s), the new development is a textbook example of neo-traditional design. Approximately 2000 residential units and numerous commercial spaces are accommodated in block perimeter buildings that enclose central courtyards and abound with historical references. Figure 1: Crown Street Regeneration Project, looking north. Crown Street runs north-south in the middle of the picture, Laurieston Road is on the left side (photograph: Guthrie, courtesy CZWG). 1 http://www.cabe.org.uk/case-studies/crown-street (accessed October 2010) Journal of Art Historiography Number 5 December 2011 Florian Urban Built Historiography in Glasgow’s New Gorbals The use of historic forms and quotes turn-of-the-twenty-first-century architecture has been the subject of numerous studies. Analyses have mostly focused on the operations of architectural meaning, as a linguistic or poetic expression of individual experience,2 in relation to program and function,3 as indebted to typological continuity,4 or in relation to the specificity of place.5 Little attention, however, has been dedicated to the historiographic dimension of such architecture, that is, its capacity to make a statement on the significance of past events and conditions.
