Glasgow takes building double first

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2004 / October 29

They are two towering monuments of glass, their ambitiously modern design sitting cheek by jowl with some of Scotland's most traditional architecture. Yesterday they helped cement Glasgow's reputation for producing leading buildings. At a ceremony in Edinburgh, St Aloysius College's Clavius building, described as "big, tough, unmistakably Glasgow", won the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland award. Elder and Cannon Architects were awarded a Ł25,000 cheque along with the prize, recognised as one of the UK's most prestigious architecture awards. That was followed by plaudits for Glasgow University's Wolfson Medical Centre, which picked up the building award at the British Construction Industry Awards in London.
