History
Queenâs Park Churchâs destruction has been described as the largest loss to architecture in Glasgow. This United Presbyterian Church was designed by Alexander âGreekâ Thomson, and destroyed in the Second World War.
Alexander âGreekâ Thomson (9 April 1817 â 22 March 1875) was an eminent Scottish architect and architectural theorist who was a pioneer in sustainable building. Although his work was published in the architectural press of his day, it was little appreciated outside Glasgow during his lifetime.
It has only been since the 1950s and 1960s that his critical reputation has revivedânot least of all in connection with his probable influence on Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1857, as âthe rising architectural star of Glasgow,â he entered into practice with his brother George where he was to enjoy the most productive years of his life.
