Set within the magnificent grounds of Glasgow’s Bellahouston Park and inspired by the designs of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, House for an Art Lover combines art gallery and exhibition space, events venue, café, multipurpose artists studios and magnificent visitor attraction into one unique and inspiring venue.

‘Making Sense’ is the first iteration of the ‘residency for ideas’ - a project facilitated by New Practice, KCA Architects and the Mackintosh School of Architecture. As the first selected group of architectural graduates, we have been investigating our relationships with space (making) and who it is attributed to - with Glasgow’s Barras market and the market typology more generally as our case study.
 
Over the summer, we worked on redefining the architect's role, believing everyone should shape spaces. Barriers like gender, race, and class often limit participation in architectural decisions. Our upcoming exhibition from the 4th to 6th October in Glasgow, will focus on bridging traditional craftsmanship with local cultures through sensory engagement. We challenge conventional architectural methods, advocating for inclusivity and community involvement.
