Description

Glasgow's identity is shaped by an ‘image of the city' rather than the city itself. From historical buildings reflected in neighbouring glass façades to the presence of absence through gaping voids and urban disjunctions, contemporary Glasgow retains its image as a memory. Inviting readers to look at the city critically, this book moves beyond conventional perceptions to embrace ideas that may initially seem remote and fantastical. Through an incremental reading of architecture and the urban landscape, it explores how the past is reflected in the present, offering a different perspective on the relationship between memory, architecture and the contemporary city.

Mahnaz Shah is an architectural historian and design theorist. Since 2020 she has taught in both Architecture and Design at the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh College of Art. She is the author of Le Corbusier’s Venice Hospital Project: An Investigation into its Structural Formulations (Ashgate Publishing Company, 2013).
