Helensburgh Live Music Centre

Three Quarter View
In a proposal for a building in Helensburgh (a town near Glasgow), I selected the activity of busking and live music as a catalyst for regeneration of the waterfront in an attempt to promote the site in terms of tourism, to re-establish the former status of the town’s esplanade. To do this I redesigned the existing layout of the esplanade, to provide extra routes of pedestrian traffic and established a simple proposal with three spaces, which was then given an envelope recalling the intended activity with respect to the dynamism found in live music.

The intention was to create an urban context which offers a threshold to the scenery that Helensburgh has to offer across the Clyde, and reclaim the esplanade space, all with the activity of live music in mind. The project marked the end of an extensive investigation into the activity of busking, culminating in a presentation representing two terms of my second year of the Bachelor of Architecture programme.
