ARTWORK Kibble Palace

LOCATION Cove park, Scotland

YEAR 2014

As part of Glasgow GENERATION, GSS Fabrication were commissioned to construct a 2/3 scale version of Kibble Palace.

Working with the original images of Kibble Palace and the artist we where able to recreate fabrication drawings and construct a new version of John Kibble’s first version of what is now known as the Kibble Palace based in Glasgow's Botanical Gardens. The new construction was placed at Cove Park close to the original location that it would have been sited before being sailed down the Clyde to Glasgow in 1873 to its current resting place.
