a beacon of health + well being
for glasgow’s east end
HEALTH + WELL BEINGTHE EAST END OF GLASGOW HAS A REPUTATION FOR BEING AN AREA OF DEPRIVATION AND POOR HEALTH. THE AIM OF THE PROJECT IS TO PROVIDE A NEW CENTRE THAT WILL ALLOW THE PEOPLE OF THE EAST END OF GLASGOW TO ENJOY A NEW BATHING EXPERIENCE, AND DEVELOP A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THEIR OWN PERSONAL HEALTH + WELL BEING.
REGENERATION _ GLASGOW 2014AS COMMONWEALTH GAMES HOST CITY IN 2014, THE EAST END OF GLASGOW HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO MASS REGENRATION, WITH A KEY FOCUS ON THE ROLE OF SPORT IN DEVELOPING NEW ATTITUDES TOWARD HEALTH AND WELL BEING. THE PROJECT WOULD OFFER AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO THIS INCREASED DRIVE FOR A HEALTHIER AND ACTIVE CITY.
Y.P HOSPICEALSO SITUATED WITHIN THE PARK IS THE PROPOSAL FOR THE YOUNG PERSON’S HOSPICE. THE BATH HOUSE PROJECT WILL CONTINUE THE REGENERATION OF THE POORLY USED MAIN AXIS WHICH RUNS CENTRALLY THROUGH THE PARK. THIS WILL CREATE A ‘NEW’ ROUTE AND LINK BOTH PROJECTS, AND THE REST OF THE PARK.
A BEACON + A GATEWAYTHE SITE FOR THE PROJECT (HIGHLIGHTED) IS IDEALLY SUITED FOR A BATH HOUSE, AND WILL ACT AS A ‘BEACON’, DRAWING PEOPLE TO THE PARK + BUILDING. IT WILL ALSO ACT AS A NEW AND EXCITING GATEWAY FOR THOSE ENTERING THE PARK FROM THE EAST.0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500
