Glasgow Building Tours : Information

Quick List : Contemporary Developments only

Glasgow was the powerhouse of the World in the Victorian age so has a wealth of mercantile buildings - offices, warehouses, factories - but more recently, building on the foundations of Rennie Mackintosh and Alexander Thomson, a rekindled enthusiasm for innovative building.

Scottish Contemporary Architecture as a whole has been generally 'quiet' since GK&C's work around thirty years ago. Good buildings need good Clients as much as good architects and Glasgow's housing developments such as Homes for the Future and Graham Square have been great test beds for innovation as well as being quality housing developments. Buildings in Glasgow have been overshadowed around the turn of the century by those in Edinburgh - the Museum of Scotland and the Scottish Parliament, but with Zaha Hadid, David Chipperfield, Richard Rogers, Foster & Partners and plenty of strong local talent, the city looks like it can regain some attention.
