This morning, I undertook a photography tour of some interesting aspects of architecture in Glasgow’s Merchant City.
This sandstone-clad infill building is located at Ingram Street. It dates from 1994 and was designed by Page & Park. Note the heavily patinated phosphor-bronze shutters.

This four-storey block of flats also in Ingram Street is an infill and was given own ‘personality’ owing to inability to blend with adjacent structures. Shiny surface a function of black glazed bricks. Designed by Elder and Cannon Architects 1989.

Multi-storey car park at Candleriggs and Albion Street. Designed by the Carl Fisher Sibbald Partnership 1990. Reinforced concrete clad externally in brickwork with string-courses and decorative metal panels. Has affinity with art deco style.

Here is the Brunswick Hotel at 106-8 Brunswick Street. Designed by Elder and Cannon Architects 1996. Bridges a difficult style gap between French Renaissance and Baronial style on either sides. An elegant eight storey structure divided vertically into three separate zones.

The above illustrates the wide choice of dynamic architecture in vibrant Glasgow. More illustrations to follow.
