MOBILELAND is a landscape recovery project supported by Glasgow City Council and led by Glasgow Project Office at University at Strathclyde since October 2014. More information is available in our official website: https://mobilelandglasgow.wordpress.com/
MOBILELAND© GARDENS https://mobilelandglasgow.wordpress.com MOBILELAND© is a radical landscape recovery action that reactivates abandoned sites through temporary uses of vacant plots and community led placemaking. MOBILELAND© is the first Stalled Spaces award held by the University of Strathclyde. It is supported by GCC, BAaD, Gorbals community and Strathclyde. It represents a unique Knowledge Exchange initiative led by Dr. Suau since October 2014. This radical landscape solution is the core project of the Glasgow Project Office led by Dr. Suau and supported by both the Glasgow City Council (with one award and KE services) and the University of Strathclyde through the VIP and MUSE programmes. In few months MOBILELAND© has established an innovative public space fed by recreational and open art events. MOBILELAND© is an adaptable, portable and modular compact landscape scheme, which has the potential to enhance other public spaces and empower future communities. Structures are entirely made from reclaimed materials such as containers, timber pallet boards, metals and any reused material based on the principle of remaking. Internationally MOBILELAND© has debuted in the Month of Design 2014 in Ljubljana (Slovenia) http://monthofdesign.com; Glasgow Pecha Kucha Show (2014); and recently joined the COST Action TU1201 Network ‘Urban Allotment Gardens in European Cities’ as new active member (2015). In October the outcomes will be disseminated in an international conference in Kaunas, Lithuania. MOBILELAND Garden performs as a catalyst for community actions; produces an improvement in the aesthetics by remaking; contributes to the green infrastructure of the city; and generates safe public places for local dwellers. It offers a variety of opportunities to deliver locally social, environmental and economic benefits. Over 62,5k has been allocated to enhance this playplace. Both planned and completed activities (inc. design management and public events) are: • MOBILELAND HUB (reused container for meetings & storage; billboard) MOBILELAND TERRACE (outdoor amenities w/ canopy and long table) • • GARDEN FURNITURE & PUBLIC GAMES (based on recycled pallets) • ARCH GATEWAY (paving painting) • CEPELINA AIRSHIP (inflatable pop-up cinema pavilion) COMMUNITY EVENTS & CLINIC (outdoor recreational activities seasonally) • • YELLOWFIELD (current 60k phytoremediation & landart project) Dr Cristian Suau MOBILELAND© & YELLOWFIELD coordinator
