Practice Information
Robert Matthew : Architect
Robert Matthew was London County Council Chief Architect. Working for the LCC made his name and he was instrumental in creating one of the UK's key 20th century buildings, New Zealand House off Pall Mall, London. Matthew had graduated from Edinburgh College of Art and he returned to Scotland in 1953.
Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall & Partners - RMJM (1956-) created some key Edinburgh buildings - notably the Commonwealth Pool and the landmark David Hume Tower. The latter was striking - and controversial, partly spawning the Edinburgh building conservation movement - in that it invaded a formal Georgian Square, historic University quarter.
Like another key 20th century Scottish Architect - Isi Metzstein of GK&C - Robert Matthew became Edinburgh University Professor of Architecture.
Matthew worked briefly with another Scottish great, Basil Spence, on Queen Elizabeth Square, Gorbals / Hutchestown, Glasgow.
