Glasgow has a long and rich history and the buildings housed within
this architecturally impressive city tell its tale accordingly,
from its sixth-century origins, to its current role as a vibrant
and cosmopolitan centre of new industry and education. Glasgow in
50 Buildings explores the history of this wonderful city by
presenting a selection of its greatest architectural treasures.
From the medieval Provand's Lordship to the contemporary Riverside
Museum, this unique study celebrates Glasgow's architectural
heritage in a new and accessible way. Historian Michael Meighan
guides the reader on a tour of the city's historic buildings and
modern structural marvels. The churches, theatres, commercial and
public edifices of Glasgow's rich industrial heritage are presented
alongside the innovative buildings of a twenty-first-century city.
Images are arranged chronologically to tell the story of Glasgow's
development through its most significant buildings. A specially
designed map appears at the beginning of the volume to show where
each building is located and the text is illustrated with colour
photographs and archival images, showcasing the best of Glasgow's
heritage in fifty buildings.
