Project description
PROJECT will enable some of Edinburgh 's 'Design Initiative'
aspirations for the City's waterfront to be achieved. Core to its ambition
is to deliver true Place Making. PROJECT was used
as the focus for discussions relating to the integration of the disparate
masterplan areas into a recognisable whole.
PROJECT will allow for the appointment of an artist to collaborate with the partners who include the City of Edinburgh Council Design Initiative , Forth Ports , Second Site and Waterfront Edinburgh. The artist's brief will be to act as "curator" for the waterfront, to analyse sites and places across the development area, make connections, establish broad concepts and principles and determine how art is integral to place making. This will impact on the eventual physical form of the built environment and longer term involves a series of creative interventions by artists, designers, writers, performers and other creative professionals.
The artist will be supported by the City Design Initiative and RMJM Art commissioning and develop a five year strategy over the next twelve months.
