I love this sculpture on a wall at the junction of Byres Road and University Avenue in West End of Glasgow. Created in 1993 by Michelle de Bruin and Callum Sinclair, this is the first time I've seen it lit up in a very long time.

The Jacobean Corsetry building on Virginia Street in Glasgow. Originally built in the late 18th century, this tenement is one of the Virginia Buildings, which were at the heart of the city's tobacco trade.

A 1950s Office Building on Queen Street in central Glasgow. There's a definite air of Late Art Deco/Modern Classicism about this building.

Anyone got any suggestions as to the function of this 2nd storey door on the old Douglas Telephone Exchange building on Hope Street in central Glasgow? It was constructed in 1910.

RIP Frank Gehry 1929 - 2025
Those of us in Scotland are lucky to have his building for Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre in Dundee, which was in part modelled on indigenous but ‘n ben houses.
For his own place in Santa Monica, he “was trying to use the dumb, normal materials of the neighborhood.”

Frank Gehry, legendary Canadian-American architect, dies aged 96
The architect, whose work included the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, died after a brief illness
Frank Gehry, one of the most influential and distinctive talents in American architecture, died on Friday at his home in Los Angeles following a brief respiratory illness, his chief of staff confirmed. He was 96.
Gehry, the most recognizable American architect since Frank Lloyd Wright, was one of the first to embrace the potential of computer design, and pioneered a distinctively exuberant style of bravura power, whimsical and arresting collisions of form. His most famous work remains the Guggenheim Museumin Bilbao, a fantastical, titanium-clad composition on the Nervión River which received international acclaim upon its opening in 1997, heralding a new era of emotive architecture.
