Mid-19th century blonde sandstone corner tenement on Argyle Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow. As with many corner tenements in the city, there's a pub on the ground floor, and has been since at least 1871.

129. Pyramid

🧠 I took this after dropping J off for his choir practice in the builing

⭐I love the green roof and the dramatic sky.

➡️ Next time I want to make more of the coloured stain glass.

Such economically inactive dead spaces, often created by planning decisions made decades ago, can be found all over Glasgow and, in my opinion, they are one of the major challenges the city faces as tries to find ways to balance its books in the 21st century economic environment. Unfortunately, I cannot offer any easy solutions to this situation.

A spiral ramp leading up to a pedestrian walkway over the M8 in the Anderston area of Glasgow. This is needed because the motorway, built in the 1960s, sliced this community in two. As a result, land which used to be occupied by homes and businesses has become a dead space, now occupied by a spiral of concrete, and has been for the last 60 years.

The distinctive roof of the former Anderston Kelvingrove Parish Church in Glasgow or, as it is more commonly known locally, the Pyramid. It was designed by Honeyman, Jack and Robertson and was built in the 1960s. It's now a community space.

Part of the former Anderston Brass Foundry on Elliot Street in Glasgow. Built with polychromatic brickwork in the 1870s, the arch in the middle of the photo was originally the cart entrance.

As such, and this may prove controversial, I often feel Salmon and Gillespie should probably get equal billing alongside Mackintosh when it comes to creating this architectural style (just as Margaret MacDonald, Mackintosh's wife should probably get equal billing when it comes to its interior design elements).

While Charles Rennie Mackintosh now gets most of the credit for creating the distinctive Glasgow Style in the late 1800s, James Salmon Jnr and John Gaff Gillespie were just as influential. In fact, the three of them all studied architecture at the Glasgow School or Art around the same time, and Gillespie won the Glasgow Institute of Architects prize alongside Mackintosh ih in 1889.
