Co-ordinator needed for 1999

Glasgow is hunting for an architecture and design co-ordinator for its festival in 1999 which celebrates its year as City of Architecture and Design.

The co-ordinator will assess ideas and proposals for the festival, which are being submitted.

“This is a pretty senior post with a lot of responsibility. As soon as we find someone, we’ll start looking through these proposals, and the co-ordinator will decide which ones are viable. Then we can think about who’s designing what,” says a festival spokesman.

The festival office has received proposals from design groups, architects and the public, adds the spokesman. “We’ll be looking at short-term projects, exhibitions and events, which will naturally need designers,” he adds.

The position is expected to be filled by December.
