"As cultural commandos, fighting Glasgow’s scorched earth
planning policies of self-destruction in the sixties, Gillespie Kidd and
Coia (GKC) built an international reputation for innovative humanist modernist
architecture. The practice soon became internationally known for its expressive
churches, schools and other religious buildings, to the eternal glory
of the Catholic Church in Scotland. At least that’s what we thought
at the time":

Brief review of
Royal
Scottish Academy Architecture Exhibition 2006
"I left feeling much more upbeat than the last few years: three
decent-sized rooms filled with really good work. This is a simple unpretentious

'craft'". [Adrian Welch]
