Product Description

Synopsis
This work brings architecture into the mainstream debate about Scottish cultural identity, analyzing the ways in which contemporary, market-led globalization has fragmented and debased the Scottish urban environment, creating the "Clone City" - the product of uncontrolled, mass-produced urbanization. The book provides a step-by-step exploration of the core issues behind this debate, providing a generalist manifesto for contemporary architecture in Scotland. The authors show how, with a radically different vision, architecture can actively help to build a new Scottish identity and democracy, not just in a few symbolic national monuments but across the whole urban environment. Broad in scope, it is not written specifically for architectural professionals, but is equally directed to the informed general reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for all Scottish Design Students, 1 April 2003
For students reading Architecture or related subjects to Urban Design in Scotland, this book is a must. For other readers it will give a fascinating insight into the current state of architecture within the boundaries of Scotland. Miles Glendinning is an emminent writer and historian and David Page is a founding partner of Page and Park Architects in Glasgow. This unusual combination of professions has lead to a book that paints a stark picture of Scottish Architecture in its current condition and then formulates solutions to the problems. I found the script hard reading in places but overall this book was undoubtedly informative and entertaining. The format with carefully interspersed pictures displaying both the good and bad areas of design in the region is excellent.
