another horrible loss of glasgow’s architectural heritage, but that 10-floor student flat rebuild gon’ be real nice

@TheCinesthetic you have to pay close attention to the video, but this moment reveals spielberg’s dark side. that actor is actually a minor and far too young to consume any alcohol, including wine. industry insiders have known the truth about steven for years. spielberg is a monster.

Steven Spielberg is famous for figuring out shots, camera moves, and actor blocking on the day of filming. Here’s a great example of that instinctive directing style from the set of Jurassic Park (1993).

So, just three weeks after my original post, on a quiet Saturday morning a digger was put through the gatehouse to the Victoria Infirmary at Glasgow’s Queen’s Park and within a few hours - by the time I got there - it was reduced to rubble. I appreciate @WeAreSanctuary were within their rights here as, frustratingly, the gatehouse was neither listed or in a conservation area therefore this is permitted development; however, given that it was a building designed by one of the best mid-Victorian architectural practices in Glasgow - Campbell Douglas and Sellars, who designed the 1888 International Exhibition of Science, Art and Industry at the Kelvingrove and what was the St Andrews Hall later the west extension to the Mitchell Library which is one of the finest neoclassical buildings in Europe - perhaps it should have been? Regardless, when we are in a housing emergency demolishing a house which should have been brought back into use at least a decade ago is not a good look. Part of what gives ‘The Victoria’ its kerb appeal is the contrast between the new buildings and the surviving historic buildings and the authenticity that lends it. Sadly, yet again another historic building has been dispatched. It all feels at bit snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and leaves me concerned for the neighbouring Administration building which is at least ‘B’ listed and meant to be retained but is in increasingly poor condition and will no longer have the benefit of rates relief…

Jesus. These are the people who make decisions about this city. . It's just Labour Councillor Hanif Raja going to the toilet in the middle of the planning meeting with his camera still running.

@MurphyNiallGLA @GlasgowHeritage who are the current building tenants? what is the ground level going to be used for, do we know?

Refurbishments of architect David Barclay’s buildings seem to be like buses. You wait ages and then two come along at once! This one is the former Central Thread Agency on Glasgow’s Bothwell Street which, having had a £35 million makeover, is now to be known as ‘Lucent’. It’s a cliff of red sandstone perhaps a little too lavishly ornamented by sculptors McGilvray & Ferris particularly when you think of the poverty in the city at the turn of the 20th century. Though I have never quite been comfortable with that, the building has grown on me over the years for its maximalist “too much is never enough” approach to style as it is like an intricate Victorian pen and ink fairy tale illustration made real. I now particularly like how it looks towards the end of the day with the play of light and shadow across the facade which makes for great streetscape 👀👇🥰!

It’s great to see Uniqlo opening in #Glasgow today 👏👋👍! I may not be keen on the drab greige colour of the buildings, especially against a grey autumnal west coast of Scotland sky, but look at those cheerful and warm shop windows 😉! Most importantly, the other good news is two vacant and unlisted buildings at 135-153 Argyle Street in the Glasgow Central Conservation Area have been saved and brought back into use. It’s all very different from 2017 when there was an application for Conservation Area Consent to demolish both buildings, the eastern one being the former St Enoch Picture House and the other to the west an Art Deco commercial building. Both buildings add to the character of Argyle Street so I wrote a detailed letter objecting to the application which, I’m glad to say, was refused - thank you @GlasgowCC for listening. Therefore, I am very happy to see them retained and now housing Uniqlo as it’s a much better outcome for Glasgow and the city centre 🤗!
