The site forms part of an urban block in Glasgow’s City Centre defined by principle streets; St Vincent, Queen, Argyle and Buchanan Street. The city form and the surrounding area is urban in character made from various tones and textures of stone and brick.

Archaos nightclub was one of the city’s hottest legendary music and dance venues in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s – A strong cultural institution to many.

The site, now vacant for 10 years, is formed by a collection of 3 – 4 storey former warehouse buildings with retail and bar use on the ground floor and the former Archaos nightclub space on the upper floors.

The building is not architecturally precious or special, but as a piece of memory and memorial this old building, from once a warehouse to then nightclub, belongs to a moment in time.

As a practice, and as individuals perhaps nostalgic, we felt the impulse to record and document this place before the building is re-absorbed back into Glasgow as a new typology.
