The Lighthouse, Glasgow, Scotland
In November 2003 Glasgow City Council announced that it had selected a design for a new footbridge linking the booming economic area on the north bank of the River Clyde with the soon to be regenerated Tradeston to the south. The Lighthouse facilitates a continuing debate on the Glasgow Bridge through this exhibition, which looks both at the history of bridges on the Clyde and the process by which the new design was selected. Visitors will also be invited to suggest a name for the winning design.
