THE WORLD IN RUINS

The social and cultural significance of the renovation of the ruins

Modern ruins are precious assets for cities because they carry history and the memory of generations. They seem out of place when they meet the new era and it is a great pity to exclude them from the city. It, therefore, makes sense for us to do some renovations to bring them back, and landscape architects are the ones more capable of doing this.

In the future, King George V Dock will become a cultural card for Glasgow and a constant reminder of this once glorious industrial past. The proposal will provide an idea for the regeneration of modern ruins worldwide, and evoke a re-examination of these ruins and contemporary ecology.
