Govan Graving Docks are the best-preserved example of Clyde’s glorious industrial maritime heritage, which is Grade A listed. The docks' initial purpose was to service Clyde’s expanding steamer fleet, which was a common mode of transport in Victorian Glasgow. However, the site has lain abandoned since 1988. Glasgow has also experienced several urban regenerations. The site stands in contrast with the modern surrounding. It looks like an 'outsider', involve as its character. The project was trying to build perspective by linking with the relationship of HOST and GUEST, site and audience.

 

Besides, the parts of Glasgow and the surrounding have the impact of rising sea levels, which could be lost in just 30 years. Climate Central's map shows which areas could be lost to rising sea levels if nothing is done to slow the potentially devastating change. By using the topic of 'environmental crisis' as the design concept, it constructs experience through design to make the audience be aware of the seriousness of its impact.

 

Reusing the existing mechanism of the dock pumping system, which benefit to control of water in and out. The sloped-like venue is planned to build on the dock. The bridge will be a shortcut walkway for people across the dock. It delicately builds at descending angle, which allows the bridge could slightly dip into the water, creating a flooding atmosphere for the pedestrian. Through the journey of walking past the bridge, people could experience the fear of the sea level rising, in order to identify and face the problem.

 

It will be the true relationship between the HOST and GUESTS.

FLOOD > CHANGE > EMPTY > HIDDEN > DISAPPEAR > DECAY > …
