Glasgow Pedestrian Bridge
Richard Rogers Architects / WS Atkins were selected to design the new bridge across the River Clyde. The £40m pedestrian curved crossing was decided by Glasgow City Council.
Their design was titled Neptune’s Way. Their arc-shaped design is to link Tradeston and Broomielaw. The proposal will include new public realm areas on either side of the river.

Another key Scottish building by Foster + Partners is the Centrica HQ in Edinburgh. The sustainable building is located in Granton, looking out north over the Firth of Forth towards fife.
This London architectural practice were also responsible for the high-quality Quartermile masterplam, which is also located in the Scottish capital. The masterplan contains some historic hospital buildings, with the majority being new-building apartmet blocks of an excellent design standard.
The only other Fosters & Partners building in Scotland is their Faculty of Management and Design Library at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. This £18m building was completed in 1998 and features a dramatic curved steel roof. It is located on the north bank of the River Dee, just west of the city centre in a higher education campus, within an overall suburban setting.
