Many thanks to Ann Laird, community champion for Glasgow's built environment, for an interactive workshop with the New Glasgow Society committee. Discussed much about the city's planning policies, building listings and many more. Great knowledge shared 🙌🏽💚
As I was born in 1989, I sadly missed the Glasgow Garden Festival by a year, but it was fascinating to listen to Niall interview an excellent panel from After the Garden Festival... about its ambition & impact on our city.

Come work with Glasgow Building Preservation Trust and make a difference to the historic built environment in Glasgow. We have a lot of exciting restoration and repurposing projects in the pipeline! And lots of great stories to share with the people of Glasgow, too.
GCC votes to demolish the fine and historic 32 Mansionhouse Road. For shame! A fine house and Willie Malley's place of death.

Edinburgh Castle reimagined by AI. Boring boxes of concrete and glass. Heatherwick asks us to imagine nation’s favourite buildings stripped of their soul, demonstrating the harm to our physical and mental health - #OwenJonesArchitect would agree!
