Battlefield Court on the Southside of Glasgow. Containing 114 flats, it was just one of many similar residential tower blocks constructed across the city in the 1960s, many of which have now been demolished.

The Church of Saint Paul on Shettleston Road in Glasgow. Created by the legendary Gillespie, Kidd and Coia, and constructed in 1958, it's a stunning example of modern church design. The central sculpture of Christ on the Cross was created by Jack Mortimer.

The old and new sections of the Theatre Royal in Glasgow. Originally built in 1867, the corner section was added in 2014, and was designed by Page\Park . While it's in a very different style, it maintains the older roofline and continues the long Glaswegian architectural tradition of having a distictive feature corner on important buildings at major road junctions.

The Science Mall and the Glasgow Tower, part of the Glasgow Science Centre on Pacific Quay in Glasgow, looking spectacular against blue skies.

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.

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.
