I studied the regeneration of Buchanan Street during my first degree for a project entitled "A Good Place". The aim of the project was to discover what it is that makes a place "good".
Gillespies won the design competition that the City of Glasgow initiated in 1999 - below are some photos from way back that I included in my original piece of work. All taken on a Canon Ixus.
At the time I was studying Land Surveying and knew nothing of Landscape Architecture. Everything is a little clearer now.
Sort of.

Spiers and Major won the competition for the lighting design, a key factor in the project.
