Glasgow Building Preservation Trust’s Director, David Cook, leads a panel discussion reflecting on the past and future of the city’s built heritage.
The talk includes the screening of a new film – It’ll Be Great When It’s Finished. In the 1980s, after decades of demolition, a small group of determined individuals coalesced around a desire to see our built heritage saved and repurposed. This film charts the birth of GBPT and sets it within the wider context of changing attitudes and approaches to heritage, reflecting on the distance travelled over the past forty years and what challenges and opportunities may lie ahead. Join us for a thought-provoking and lively discussion.
David will be joined by key people involved in shaping the city’s development, Raffaele Esposito (Architect and Urban Designer, City Design Manager), Paola Pasino (Principal Officer for Glasgow’s City Centre Strategy) and Gerry Grams (Architect) to discuss the film and Glasgow’s future trajectory.
