Engagement, aspiration and design project resulting in the publication of a widely distributed book created by local networks and people of Govan.
Govan Cross Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) commissioned icecream architecture to create this book over nine months, working entirely with local input and inspiration.
icecream architecture captured stories and memories from people, both young and old, from newcomers to indigenous Govanites, sharing skills and ideas to make us think outside the box about this book!
This book is an interactive and involving, completely unique document, telling the significant, the forgotten and the inspiring memories of Govan. The book shows off the local secrets and details, which make this a place to be proud of. It exists both as a digital document and as 4,000 beautiful hard copies distributed to homes and households in Govan for free. The book was launched at the Govan Fair on June 6th 2014.
