The Church of Saint Paul on Shettleston Road in Glasgow. Created by the legendary Gillespie, Kidd and Coia, and constructed in 1958, it's a stunning example of modern church design. The central sculpture of Christ on the Cross was created by Jack Mortimer.
The old and new sections of the Theatre Royal in Glasgow. Originally built in 1867, the corner section was added in 2014, and was designed by Page\Park . While it's in a very different style, it maintains the older roofline and continues the long Glaswegian architectural tradition of having a distictive feature corner on important buildings at major road junctions.
One of my favourite characteristics of Glasgow's traditional architecture is the prominance given to corners, where architects often used major features, such as corner towers, turrets, and cupolas, to mark them. It's something you can see across the city, such as on the right here in Govan. However, it's something you rarely see on newer developments, such as the one on the left.

This one will not be to everyone's taste, but I kind of like this building on Glassford Street in Glasgow. It's quite reminiscent of Gillespie, Kidd and Coia's 1970 BOAC building on nearby Buchanan Street. The ground floor shop front does rather let it down, though.
The titanium-clad IMAX cinema building at the Glasgow Science Centre rising above an urban wildflower micro-meadow. Designed by the Building Design Partnership, the cinema opened in 2000 with a documentary called Dolphins, which was filmed in the northern Bahamas, where I used to work.
An interesting comparison between the height of a traditonal sandstone Glasgow tenement (left) and the type of modern flat which replaced them later in the 20th Century (right). This is driven by differences in ceiling heights, meaning three modern flats into the same airspace occupied by about two and a half tenement flats.
It's these types of details which help make Glasgow's traditional architecture so distinctive, and that are missing from so many modern buildings. As a result, Glasgow is gradually losing one of the aspects that makes it a unique place to live and to visit.
Today I visited Glasgow's only known pair of architectural walruses as they're amongst my favourite sculptures in the city. They're on the 1899 Ocean Accident and Guarantee Corporation building (also known as Ocean Chambers) on West Regent Street in the city centre.

I love the way glazed bricks have been used to add decorative elements to the facade of this section of a Victorian weaving factory on French Street in the Dalmarnock area of Glasgow. It's small features like this which really help to make buildings stand out, but that are all too often missing from modern buildings.
Surely the #Andor set designers love Pier Luigi Nervi like everybody else who knows about his work. I certainly do.

Simple volumes, natural context, and attention to materials.

I've yet to come to a conclusion as to whether or not I actually like them, but they're certainly better than many more recent developments, and much of the housing built in the 1960s and 1970s.

Modern tenement style buuldings on Saint Vincent Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow. Built in the 1980s or early 1990s (I'm guessing), they feature details, such as oriel windows and arched dormers, which can be found on the city's traditional tenements and townhouses without crossing the line into pastiche territory.
