#MomentsOfBeauty in #Glasgow : For those concerned that the wee #Brutalist Buchanan Street gem, the BOAC Building by architects Gillespie Kidd & Coia, with all its white heat of technology character, was vacant, good news as it looks like it isn’t going to vacant for long 👀👇😅!

Really enjoyed Professor David Archibald’s inaugural lecture with The Tenementals - A History of Glasgow: Seven Theses & Seven Songs, which was in Websters Theatre last night. Great fun + the lyrics are a good example of how to explore intangible aspects of #GlasgowHeritage 🤔🥰!

#MomentsOfBeauty in #Glasgow : I wonder how much longer will we have these train carriages with Michael Kelly and Jimmy Cosgrove’s cheerfully illustrations of famous Glasgow buildings and Clyde-side scenes. It would be nice to see contemporary equivalents in their replacements 🤔!

Excited to be recording Glasgow City Heritage Trust #IfGlasgowsWallsCouldTalk podcast with After the Garden Festival... in #Glasgow ’s South Rotunda on the River Clyde aka Nardini’s / ‘The Dome of Discovery’ which is now the HQ for Malin Group = check out the view of the Finnieston Crane…👀👇😮🥰!

It was a good meeting Dr Soryia B Siddique many thanks for arranging it. Glasgow City Heritage Trust have already worked with Glasgow City Council on repairs to a ‘B’ listed tenement in this key block within the Glasgow Central Conservation Area, so we are happy to work collaboratively to get it turned around 👍!

For those not in the know, this is the townhouse of Helen Cargill Thompson, the grande dame of #GlasgowHeritage . Designed by École des Beaux-Arts trained architect J A Campbell, it is like the Tenement House as it is largely untouched since the Edwardian era. Worth a visit 👇😉!

#MomentsOfBeauty in #Glasgow : With normal service having resumed weather-wise (alas), to quote the Blue Nile, there’s a bit of “A Walk Across the Rooftops” feel to this moody 'Tinseltown in the Rain' view of the east elevation to the tower of Glasgow City Chambers 👀👇🤔!

Saving #GlasgowHeritage : Out on site checking repairs at ‘A’ listed Miller Hall on Alexandra Parade. Sadly, due to wide open joints in the stonework leading to water ingress and rust jacking of the steel frame, the belfries either side of the huge arch need to be rebuilt 👀👇!

Hear, hear! That blank facade is appalling. It’s the biggest new carbuncle in #Glasgow . The only way to redeem it is to handle it like Juan O'Gorman’s amazing mural on Central Library in Mexico City (NB a World Heritage site). Somebody make so…👀👇😉👍! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_L…

Morning from #Glasgow 👋! It may be #Caturday today, but wee sleepyheads Luna & Skyla are having a bit of R & R today so are just too sleepy to notice 💤🥱🤦‍♂️😹!

#MomentsOfBeauty in #Glasgow : Finished my talk last night and walked out into a glorious West Coast of Scotland sunset with James Miller’s red sandstone Caledonian Mansions - one of Scotland’s finest tenements - glowing in the gloaming. Definitely feels like Spring now 🌱🥰👍!

#MomentsOfBeauty in #Glasgow : As it is #IronworkThursday , this is the Neo Greek gate, with mini me Tympanum, by Hugh & David Barclay for their ‘A’ listed St George’s in the Fields church at 485 St George’s Road, Glasgow. Thankfully, the gate survived the WW2 cull of ironwork 🥰!

#MomentsOfBeauty in #Glasgow : its details like these 👀👇😮 which explain why I’m giving a talk on Glasgow architects Hugh and David Barclay. Their use of sculpture detail is superb👌🥰! If you want to know more, then come along to my talk 🤔👇😉👍!

#MomentsOfBeauty in #Glasgow : As a follow up to Friday’s tweet, look at the sophisticated way architect Charles Wilson handles the corner junction on his Venetian Renaissance gem, the Royal Faculty Of Procurators in Nelson Mandela Place. It’s a really delightful resolution 👀🥰!

Hey it’s #Caturday and Luna and Skyla have been so busy chasing each other around this morning, and then having a good wrestle, they’ve forgotten to say hello 😺👋! This week Skyla discovered ‘the sink’ which apparently makes an excellent cat bed…🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😹!
