stone, sea & sky

for Scottish Civic Trust
with An Lanntair, Stornoway Primary School, Catriona Gilbert
Stornoway, Isle of Lewis
2019


A culmination of 30-year celebrations for the Doors Open Day programme, Stone, Sea & Sky was run by the Scottish Civic Trust across Argyll & Bute and the Outer Hebrides to celebrate relationships between architecture and communities in the Scottish Islands.

As part of the project, Civic Soup were commissioned with the design and delivery of workshops and a public artwork in the grounds of Lews Castle, Stornoway.




Place Discovery and Building with Light were linked workshops delivered in Stornoway Primary School with the Gaelic-medium 6/7 and Primary 7 classes. They focused on place, ideas of heritage and the built environment through walking, discussion, field-recording, view-finding and design activity.






Following the workshops, a rapid process of translating, designing and fabricating took place in order to quickly create the resulting artwork; a kaleidoscopic standing stone and viewing device fabricated from powder coated and etched sheet steel.

Initially exhibited in An Lanntair, the artwork is now sited in the grounds of Lews Castle and features many of the young people’s original writing and drawings.
