7 17 MAY – 3 JUNE 07 The six cities of Scotland—Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Stirling—will host the country’s fi rst nationwide international design festival, promoting and celebrating Scottish design. The Lighthouse will be the Six Cities Design Festival Information Point for the City of Glasgow.
The Festival presents an imaginative programme of exhibitions, events, keynote speakers, talks, tours and more, taking place alongside two major continuing programmes—Design into Business and Learning.
The Festival’s national exhibition —The Scottish Show 07—is the most important expo of Scottish design ever, opening at The Lighthouse on 17 May.
Design into Business is a programme for the business community and designers alike. The programme will demonstrate how good design is good business and will include master classes, online resources, case studies and international initiatives, culminating in a major design conference.
The Learning programme focuses on education and design communities, to encourage innovation, business knowledge, creative entrepreneurship, talent incubation and talent retention. It will play a major role in connecting educational bodies with the design industry.

glasgow is made by us17 May – 27 June 07Level 5 Long Gallery How would you re-design your city? Six Cities Design Festival asked Evening Times’ readers what were the major issues affecting Glasgow’s city centre and what they would like to see redesigned. Issues included litter, traffi c congestion, pedestrian facilities, public spaces and the river. The most pressing suggestions were given to four top designers, who have created designs to respond to these issues. This exhibition showcases their responses and demonstrates how improved design can impact on our cities and our lives. Look out for our designers creating new spaces in various locations across the city during the Six Cities Design Festival.www.six-cities.com

Foreign Bodies28 Mar – 7 May 07Level 4 Circulation Foreign Bodies tells a story through text and photography about the history of two cities - Marseille and Glasgow. There is much that they share in common, not least a passion for politics, football, alcohol, the weather and verbal trickery. Moreover they are connected historically in their roles as imperial and industrial cities. Imagined as an illustrated dialogue, the two cities reminisce about their rise and subsequent decline, refl ecting on the contemporary attempts to restructure their economies and give them a face-lift.
This project was originally commissioned by The Lighthouse as part of Made in Scotland: A series of events across Marseille celebrating Scotland’s Architecture in October 2004.
