#Glasgow850 Caught 'Empire Retold' project's display @uofglasgow.bsky.social ARC building today (ends tomorrow) ~ the polyvocal approach to story collecting is long overdue & character/quote cards you can play with an inspired move ~ fantastic all round @daisyabbott.bsky.social @sit-gsa.bsky.social

Section of a display panel titled 'Different Stories, Multiple Perspectives' outlining the polyvocal approach the Empire Retold project took to both collating interviews and quotes from members of the Glasgow community who took part in project workshops, as well as in their historical research.

Selection of character cards and quote cards that users can select from to then see what characters they identify with and what quotes they would agree or disagree with. There are potentially many levels and different ways of playing this game, helping open up spaces for people to think through their own views and those of others in new and different ways.

According to notes here the contractors were Yorkshire Hennebique Contracting Co. Ltd, Leeds, who it seems did mainly bridges but also mills. Wonder if they chanced the 4 inch walls at Lion Chambers due to site size or was it done elsewhere. They later did Ardsley Mill share.google/k4qDg5OEcMLT...

The most beautiful #GlasgowStyle failure... Hennebique & Louis Mouchel's marketing nous sold us a #reinforcedconcrete pup & James Salmon Jnr's design genius goes to waste 😔 shame there's no space for a mesh box like at Hill House #Glasgow850 💔 The north elevation is also a hidden #Glasgow iconic gem

Photo of the north elevation of the Category A listed Lion Chambers in Glasgow designed by James Salmon Junior and completed 1907, constructed from reinforced concrete, steel and glass using the Hennebique system. It was originally comprised of law firm premises with a specially designed artists' studio on the top floor and is a designated Building At Risk. It is currently vacant from the first floor upwards due to the dangerous decay of the structure, with a commercial tenant on the ground floor.
