Calum Stirling stands in front of his three-storey-high image of Mars celebrating the Beagle 2’s landing on the red planet on the 25th. Picture: Robert Perry IN THE 1960s, when eminent architects like Sir Basil Spence were hired to build the "new" Gorbals, the urban landscape they made was likened to life on Mars, a "Utopian" wasteland that never worked. The world turned and a second, more hospitable new Gorbals is emerging - and this time life on Mars is represented only by a uniquely symbolic work of art.
