Patricia Cain’s work on the Riverside Transport Museum brilliantly captures a singular moment of the build: uniquely documenting the geometric complexity and structural integrity of the museum’s design – ZAHA HADID
As Glasgow’s new transport museum prepares to open to the public next month, a unique exhibition examining the way in which a building is much more than the sum of its parts, has been seen by more than 7000 people since it opened last month.
Patricia Cain’s Drawing (on) Riverside takes its cue from the new Riverside Museum, which has been taking shape for the last four years on the site of the former Pointhouse shipyard on the River Clyde.
During the last four years, former lawyer Patricia Cain, has immersed herself in the Riverside’s unique and intricate structure. She won two major awards, the Aspect Prize and the Threadneedle Prize, for her forensic studies of the building under construction.
Designed by architectural ‘superstar’ Zaha Hadid, the Riverside opens to the public on June 21. It is Hadid’s first public building in the UK.
