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.
