In honour of the 150th anniversary of its founding, the Glasgow Institute of Architects (GIA) is asking participants to submit a single image portraying how they see the city in 2168.

The GIA said: “Glasgow is a multi-layered city with a unique character. Throughout the past centuries, Glasgow has passed through various phases and styles, maintaining a very ingenious dialogue through its architecture. Traces of Gothic, Victorian, Neoclassical, Modernist and many others can be found in the largest Scottish city, making it a place with diverse faces.

“Much like any other post-industrial city, Glasgow has both maintained its amalgam presence, as well as left a number of issues that can be creatively resolved by the aspiring architectural society. Buildings such as the tenements have proved their durability and have served Glasgow’s community for the past centuries, with their bay windows becoming much like the eyes of a Glaswegian.”

The image is open to interpretation and may be completed in any media. It should provoke conversations about the future of Glasgow and visualize a critical argument and view about the city.

The overall winner, to be announced 23 November, will receive a £1,000 travelling scholarship at the GIA’s annual dinner in the city’s A’Challtainn restaurant.

The deadline for applications is 16 November.
