About

My name is Stephen McCullough and I will be running all the workshops throughout the project. I have just finished a degree in Architecture at Dundee School of Architecture. I also have a keen interest in Photography… which brings me here! My aims for the project are to engage with people and place, exploring the principles of photography at a constructible scale. My research in my final year gave me the chance to explore how we view our local surrounding. Sir Patrick Geddes was an influence of both my research in university and in the proposal for this project:

Here is an extract from my original proposal:

“In approaching a project that seeks to engage with the community, it is nearly impossible to avoid Patrick Geddes. It was his belief that we live within a constantly evolving archive, and that if we only new how to look at it, we would be able to make a huge difference to our surroundings. The focus of this proposal is to get back onto the streets for what Geddes refereed to as ‘active survey’. Local participation in such an activity is key to the success of a public art commission of this nature.”
