Prospect North - Biennale Architettura 2016

Scotland’s contribution to La Biennale Architettura 2016 was Prospect North. The exhibition explores Scotland in relation to its northern neighbours through narratives, portraits and evocative imagery, and highlights Scotland’s place and identity within an economically emerging northern region. Prospect North is an immersive exhibition, looking at the relationship between people, culture, places, industries and economies around the country. It shows the ways in which ‘peripheral’ communities, ranging from the Northern Isles of Orkney to the industrial heartland of the central belt of Scotland are being re-energised through grassroots actions and local endeavours. The unique situations and background of 15 projects are revealed through their stories from the past, present and plans for the future.
