Only in Govan book was made up of stories collected directy from the people who live and work in Govan by our team at icecream Architecture through engaging with community groups ans walking the streets. These great short stories allowed me to be creative in the way each was displayed throughout the book. Some were funny, allowing for comical illustrations, and some were more heartfelt tales from the glory days of the Govan shipbuilding era, allowing for historic photography. I designed the book, drew the illustrations and worked with local photographers to bring the book to life.

 

This book is an interactive and involving, completely unique document, telling the significant, the forgotten and the inspiring memories of Govan. The book shows off the local secrets and details, which make this a place to be proud of. It exists both as a digital document and as 4,000 beautiful hard copies distributed to homes and households in Govan for free. The book was launched at the infamous Govan Fair.
