The Client:
Gloucester City Council's ambitious £200m regeneration project for the city centre is well underway, including a new bus station which features a parade of vintage buses inside the building.
The Brief:
Daedalian were commissioned by Gloucester Council to create a series of decorative glass panels for the bus station windows.
The design for these panels was developed from the brief provided by Gloucester City Council, and brought to reality by Daedalian Glass Studios Graphic and Studio Technician, Erin Giles. The brief was to tell the story of the city of Gloucester though a series of sequential panels and initial discussions were around the potential for there to be 38 panels, installed in phases over a number of years.
After initial discussion, and given the councils responsibility to control costs to maximise the value added to the city post-Covid, the number of panels was reduced down to 12. Further design development meetings then took place to agree upon the historical events, people, buildings, etc. that were to be featured.
The final list signed-off by the client to tell the story of the city of Gloucester was:
