Sylvia Grace Borda is a Canadian artist who has created a number of photographic projects in Scotland focusing on the built environment. Her work has been exhibited and published internationally in Canada, USA, UK and Italy. In 2008, Sylvia decided to holiday for a week in Scotland's former New Town of Glenrothes. She has also created a publication called EK Modernism exploring the architecture of East Kilbride, another new town in Scotland.

First… a little background to Scottish Modernism & urban planning What is a New Town? ‘New Town’ refers to planned cities in the UK that were built post World War II (New Towns Act of 1946) Scotland built five New Towns over a thirty year period ( ) First New Town in the UK is on the outskirts of Glasgow. It is called East Kilbride In the design of Scottish New Towns, architects and planners applied Modernist ideals - not just to the physical plans, but these plans gave equal treatment to education and the central placement of individual and community within the scheme The current dilemma New Town architecture is only a half century old in Scotland A number of key Modernist buildings are now slated for redevelopment or demolition Nearly 80% of New Town public institutions (e.g. schools and recreation centres) are being redeveloped for private housing, commercial, and industrial re-use

A Holiday in Glenrothes Sylvia Grace Borda

A Holiday in Glenrothes Sylvia Grace Borda Use the internet to research one or two of these photographers. Download the My Place visual literacy resource and take part in the activities to understand more about ‘reading’ photographs. My Place visual literacy resource Glenrothes was designed as a Modernist enterprise. During the 1960s new residences and businesses were built in park-like settings throughout the town. Sylvia embarked on a photographic exploration of Glenrothes as if she were a late- 1960s North American photographer, such as William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, Lewis Baltz or Robert Adams. These photographers pictured ‘banal’ everyday scenes, the changing landscapes of America and commonplace features of towns, cities and urban landscapes.
