Scottish Architecture took a positive turn in the eighties thanks to
the energy of architects such as Richard Murphy and then got a huge boost
from the National Lottery - though so did the rest of the UK. No resting
on laurels though, because despite one of the largest architecture prizes
in the world, Scottish Architecture is not yet up there with Swiss, Spanish,
Dutch or Japanese Architecture. One could of course analyse and then criticise
each of the above but these countries have displayed strength of vision
carried through into buildings of real quality.
In Scotland we have a range of buildings from the intricacy of Richard
Murphy to the contextual manners of Malcolm Fraser, the refined rigour
of Reiach and Hall to the bombast and drive of gm+ad, and from the dominant
form-making of Page & Park to the heroic concrete forms of Elder & Cannon.
