Architect slams MDF makeover at museum

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2004 / February 19

Changes made to the award- winning Museum of Scotland building have been slammed by one of its original architects. The alterations have been branded "tacky, crude, cheap and inappropriate" by Peter Wilson, the former project architect for the museum. He has hit out at the use of DIY building materials such as MDF in changes to the interior of £50 million museum.
