Carbuncle Cup 2009 Not Scotland's Carbuncle Awards but BD magazine's UK-wide Carbuncle Cup. Nominated Hotel Missoni misses final three but Edinburgh's QMUC doesn't, coming in 3rd. BD report that The Carbuncle Cup 2009 long list had been "picked over many times especially by readers in those historic cities where anything new is put in the spotlight. This was the case in Edinburgh, where Allan Murray Architects’ Hotel Missoni had been nominated on the grounds it was “an unimaginative lump in a sensitive area”, but would anything please the city’s conservationist lobby? Probably not, said the judges, who felt the hotel was the least offensive building on the list." 28 Aug GIA Awards News Deadline for the submission of entries for GIA Awards extended to 11 Sep 2009 Scotland's Shame Latest photos of the destruction of what is widely believed to be Scotland's best building of the 20th century : Cardross Seminary. 26 Aug The Lighthouse Glasgow - News The Lighthouse, which employs 57 people, expected to go into administration following a meeting of its board of directors scheduled for this evening. 25 Aug South Lanarkshire Co-op Town Co-operative town called Owenstown by JM Architects near Lanark to house around 20,000 people on a 2,000-acre site.
