Nice to pop down to London last week and pick up a conservation citation for our work at Provand’s Lordship - and to meet Kevin McCloud, who was as lovely as you’d hope!

A gig at the Hydro means an excuse to walk up and down St Vincent Street en route west, for my money Glasgow’s best street, and home to one of its finest buildings… (albeit in need of some TLC)

Got to see this Thomsonesque house in Dalmuir first hand eventually the other day, completed after his death by his partner - the same house type can also be found in Thomsonesque developments in Dullatur and Lenzie 🤓

Every couple of months or so I rewatch this documentary - typically now as an accompaniment to some late night drawing work - I may be biased as Sullivan is my favourite American architect, but this is an excellent and inspirational doc

Spent a bit of my Monday evening killing time in Lennoxtown library, I came across this book of Eric Watt photographs by Glasgow Museums. It’s got some fab photos in it, very easy to lose an hour in…

Glasgow yesterday, looking down West George St towards St George’s Tron… was a bit to late to catch the sun rising behind it, which is always a great wee moment

Recently we went down to Manchester for an office trip - one of the things that stood out were these inflatable artworks which are dotted throughout the city, wee moments of joy and weirdness - would love to see something similar in Glasgow!
