Glasgow Architecture : Information + Images

Key Contemporary Developments in west of Scotland

Glasgow, once called the Second City of the Empire, has always been a strong trading city. Famous architects that have designed buildings here include Rennie Mackintosh, Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and Zaha Hadid. The city has a strong grid plan and the Merchant City was once the home of Glasgow's tobacco lords.
