Union Canal Terminus and Museum - Edinburgh, Scotland (2001-2002)

Conceptual project for the design of a building celebrating the end of the Union Canal in the heart of Edinburgh.

Although abandoned since the invention of the steam engine, the Union canal is going through a transformation to provide for leisure craft replacing it's entirely industrial past. The canal runs from Edinburgh to Glasgow with a connection at Falkirk to the Forth & Clyde canal via the acclaimed Falkirk Wheel which has replaced the many locks that once existed here.
