Pocket Guide to Glasgow's Best Buildings

Omtale

Glasgow is one of the world’s most architecturally exciting cities — a Victorian city par excellence, adorned with opulent public buildings, mercantile palazzi, glittering art gal-leries and a Gothic Revival university, as well as the eccentric classicism of Alexander ‘Greek Thomson and the Art Nouveau of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. In this book, architectural writer Robin Ward features 300 of the city’s most fascinating places and the stories they tell. Six tours cover the city’ architectural treasures and un-expected delights, from the medieval cathedral burgh to the city of the 21st century.
