More online in next few days

There is a step change in quality of new photos on the website due to purchase of a Panasonic FX-01 Lumix 28/14m camera with Leica lense, thanks to advice from architect Al Cook. All pages on the website have also been reformatted over the last 3 months to a central 500pixel wide table format to work with wide screen monitors. Due to the birth of e-architect.co.uk - to take the expanding information received over the years, and to allow the resource to grow - thousands of links have been added or revised. To give an idea of the size of e-architect there are 18,000 links on the site compared to 12,000 & 19,000 on the Glasgow & Edinburgh sites respectively. The e-architect site will bring a new audience to Scottish architecture which I'm sure will be broadly welcomed. Comments on these changes welcome, also any broken links not picked up by my software and manual checks. Adrian Welch 160906

Glasgow Tours

With on average 2-3 architecture tours per week this month we again hope to post feedback as in previous years. So far the strongest feelings seem to be despair at the lack of integration of projects along the Clyde, a lack of landscape concept and the lack of upfront infrastructure, I've got to say this matched views expressed in my article on current development along the Clyde. Glasgow Harbour came out pretty well, the strip of landscape there is simple and enjoyable; the unfocused spaces around the SECC and Science Centre fared less well and were strongly criticised.

The main findings highlighted the economic and health benefits associated with well designed buildings. Significant social and environmental benefits were also identified.

Scottish Exec sets Green Standards
Micro Renewables: New housing and other developments should generate at least 10% of their energy on site from renewable sources, according to new Scottish Executive standards. This follows on from London standards set by Ken Livingstone.

Scotland is the first UK country to consider such a standard. The draft Planning Policy on Renewable Energy proposes local authorities designate areas suitable for wind farm applications and those that are not; greater account is taken of issues like natural heritage and cumulative impacts of wind farms on communities and local authorities support a diverse range of renewable energy technologies including encouraging the development of growing and new technologies.

The target is to generate 40% of Scotland's electricity from renewable sources by 2020 and reduce harmful carbon emissions

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": Cardross Seminary
