Synopsis

This volume brings together a selection of Glasgow's more famous buildings and describes them from an engineering perspective. Complemented with photographs, each chapter provides an insight into the decisions faced and the methods adopted when a building of major significance is planned and constructed. From the gleaming "Armadillo" of the modern era to the Underground and symbols of Glasgow's past, each building provides an insight into the application of engineering and forms a part of the fabric of an evolving city. In many cases the authors uncover some fascinating information about how Glasgow developed, its social history and the remarkable achievements of its engineers, past and present. The book encapsulates the spirit of Glasgow and shows clearly how it became the "Second City of the Empire" and to this day retains its entrepreneurial flair and vibrancy.
