About us Alan Dunlop Architect studio based in Glasgow drawing : Alan Dunlop Design Philosophy: Creating evocative architecture is the essence of my work and each building a consequence of deep thinking about the site, programme and context. The most important element for me is the site and although sometimes dramatic, my output is often times restrained and contextual. My architecture can be playful and decorative and occasionally symbolic. In design, it is important to explore possibilities and take risks, particularly with materials and colour. Architecture is how we frame our perception of place. It can be playful, decorative and occasionally symbolic. Design is the conduit through which we explore possibilities and take risks, particularly with materials, colour, light and space. The architect is the master of the design and construction process. We have a duty to clients and to society. It is the challenge and the privilege of the architect to improve the quality of place, cities and the public realm. Practice Philosophy: My aim is to be innovative and professional. As an architect, I offer a rigorous understanding of the design and construction process and I have an absolute commitment to my client to be dedicated, thorough and creative. I lead a small design team who are passionate about building and place making and who have drive and ambition to deliver quality responses to a range of architectural challenges. We have access to and collaborate with a range of experts who share these views. The studio is at the forefront of technical advancements in construction and is responsive to client demands on issues affecting the environment. We operate internationally but cherish each commission individually. Experience Alan Dunlop was formerly a partner at gm+ad architects Alan Dunlop is a practising architect and a respected educator.
