Favourite Building in your home town/city


Recommended Posts

First time I’ve come across this thread, some great stuff.

Surprised there’s been no Mitchell Library yet, unless I’ve missed it...

Also the city chambers which if you ever have a spare 10 minutes when you are passing is worth looking into just to see the marble stair case

Quite an interest in brutalist and modernism styles and I think the former BOAC office building on Buchanan Street is a cracking wee example in the context of where it sits within its surroundings. Love the copper cladding.

Guys, I have a very interesting question. Is it possible to build an industrial warehouse in a city? Not a suburb, not a village and not a field, but a city.

Ask us your very interesting question [emoji14]

The price of land in a city means that generally speaking it’s not going to make financial sense to build a warehouse there.

It's a lot easier than building a city in a warehouse. 

Possibly. But the Amazon warehouse at Halbeath looks big enough to accommodate Glebe Park (or Ainslie for that matter) so you could build a Brechin City or Edinburgh City in a warehouse (you'd need a skylight or a f*cking big u/v light to stop the hedge dying though)

Here in Inverness we have lots of warehouses in the city centre.  They are not too big but are full of stuff and include an area where members of the public can inspect the inventory and maybe purchase some of it.

Also.  We just call them "shops".

Here’s a couple of my photos of Paisley Abbey and Town Hall. I could also easily add pics of Coates Memorial Church, the Observatory, Abbey Mill, Paisley Museum.... fabulous architecture all around my hometown - amongst the pound shops, KFCs and vape shops.... like so many Scottish towns, but that’s another debate. Anyway, on a nice day, a long walk around Paisley throws up fantastic buildings and hidden gems of cobbled streets and cottages right in the centre of town.

What a stunning looking building.  Luckily Glasgow City Council's fire raising department didn't get a hold of it before the refurb.

How many of these wonderful old buildings were flattened?  Really sad.
