This Is My Glasgow

One of my favourite characteristics of Glasgow's traditional architecture is the prominance given to corners, where architects often used major features, such as corner towers, turrets, and cupolas, to mark them. It's something you can see across the city, such as on the right here in Govan. However, it's something you rarely see on newer developments, such as the one on the left.

Two neighbouring buildings set on corners between two roads, an older one wirh a distinctive corner turret topped with a cupola, and a new one with an unadorned square corner.

This Is My Glasgow

Designed by Page & Park, and constructed in 1994, this building manages to look contemporary, thanks to the sculptural work by Alexander Stoddart and Jack Sloan, while still sitting comfortably between its Georgian (right) and Victorian (left) neighbours. It was built to fill a gap created when the previous building occupying the site burned down in 1992.

Bouncy light in St-Pierre Street
Old Port, Ville-Marie, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

During my long walk in the town, walking is a better mode of locomotion for taking pictures than cycling.

The image depicts a narrow street in an urban setting, flanked by tall buildings on both sides. The architecture features a mix of modern and historical styles, with some buildings made of stone and others with glass facades. The street is paved and has parked cars along the sides. There are street lamps casting soft light, and a few pedestrians can be seen walking. The sky above is clear and blue, suggesting a bright day. The overall atmosphere feels lively yet calm, typical of a city environment.

Love the way the architect of this tenement building in the Govan area of Glasgow has used a column of bay windows to pivot it around a curving junction between two roads. It's the little details like this that help to really make a streetscape, and that are all to often missing from modern buildings. It's also a great organisation occupying the ground floor!
