http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a302/GLASGOWMAN/Artisan.jpg There might have been hope if the developer had not tinkered with the original Jewitt Arschavir and Wilkie design. A much better roof was intended. I wonder if the drawings lodged with Glasgow City Council - Planning have the drawings of...

I think it is a building that says “I’m alright Jack” in that it serves its function of providing sizeable apartments for those who occupy it. Balconies and glazed screens are angled towards the sun without consideration of the aesthetic of the building. It has been designed from the inside out to s...

C'mon. You only have to look at the overpriced shite at the foot of Finnieston Street or at Glasgow 'Harbour' to see just how much worse a new-build could have been. Yes, there are other buildings in the city that are under designed, over priced with the life expectancy of a piece of Ikea furniture...

I would doubt that.

If you go Bee mind those holes you fall down one its a long way back up. Also watch out for the Japanese knotweed which is cordoned off Fossil Do you mean Giant Hogweed which is the one that has the huge stems, white flowers and burns your skin? Japanese Knotweed is the purple stemmed cane like one...

Good memory Josef, the post your refer to was the one about Safeway which became soon after Morrisons, knocking down and redeveloping the whole corner of Paisley Road West at Berryknowes Road and redeveloping it with Schools, Doctors Surgeries etc to get what they wanted, where they wanted. The poin...

What's your opinion on renovation work being VAT-rated and new build being VAT-free, S? Depends on what you apply it against. VAT on renovation work in the UK came in during the early 1980's if I recall correctly, just about the time I was entering the Construction Industry. I think the idea at the...

I don't know if it has been posted on here elsewhere yet. I see that Hunter & Clark the 110 year old Glasgow Stone Mason and specialist refurbishment Contractor has went bust with over 160 job losses a couple of weeks ago. They have been responsible for many of Glasgow's renovated Public Buildin...

Looks very much like an unadorned version of the Dundee Royal Arch, perhaps unsurprisingly. (The latter was torn down with very little ceremony or regret, I've been told, the consensus being that it was a useless and rather ugly thing from a bygone age.) You are correct there. Both the Glasgow Arch...

Agree entirely, some of the recent posts have been superb.

That is some piece of Kit. I wonder if you can hire it on a self drive basis?

Think of the blots on the landscape that you could wipe out in a weekend.

Trying hard to find anything about that building that I like.

Squigster what do you find attractive about it?

Although Castle Craig is known as a Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centre it does not necessarily follow that Councillor Purcell has an addiction. According to the newspapers today he went from gibbering incomprehensible wreck (what's new there?) yesterday to recovering with family today. I read the Sunday ...

Thanks Peasy, I’ll score that one of my list, I had these ones of Govan up on another thread but I thought I’d add them here for completeness, I think Partick was originally set up to burn rubbish as well. These are from the Mitchell to this thread, for those of you who don't know this is now the s...
