Blank windows were often used in Classical style Glasgow tenements to maintain the symmetry of the facades while hiding the internal chimney flues, but they're not usually as decorative as these ones.

Love the art nouveau-inspired lines of this tenement on Helenvale Street in the Parkhead area of Glasgow, especially those chimneys. It was designed by John Hamilton and built in the early 1900s.

A simple, but none-the-less visually impressive, blonde sandstone tenement building on the gushet between Fergus Drive and Oban Drive in northwest of Glasgow.

Tenements under construction at Hutchesontown Gardens at the corner of Prince Edward St and Cromwell Rd (latterly Niddrie Rd) in 1896. The block was named after allotment gardens that moved many times, finally ending up in the vicinity of modern day Crossmyloof Gardens.

Wanted: An early-warning system for the end of the world

Many know that President Carter put solar panels on the White House.
Fewer know that he signed PURPA, the law that kick started solar energy for the entire world.
That legacy alone makes him one of the greats.

Can a low energy building be truly sustainable if it doesn’t fully consider its occupants needs? This weeks long read visits a Scottish passive house that signals the way to pragmatic, modest, occupant-centric architecture.
