Excellent! I work at Skypark, they do have some interesting stuff happening in the foyer at times. I may hang around for some free drink on Thursday, i'll say hello

As soon as i heard on the radio travel report that roads were closed in the city centre due to a fire this morning, i could only wonder what listed building it would be this time.

Sorry i couldn't make this, but glad some of you braved the appalling weather. I was up there a month or two back on a beautiful crisp winters day, the first time i had been in years. It certainly was bigger than i remember. When i was at primary school, i had to dress up as a victorian child and ta...

I totally see where you're coming from with this thread. HG as a collective voice could make a difference even in a small way. The dissemination of information is a very powerful thing.

Buro Happold are the business. Extremely approachable and a joy to work with. Their Glasgow offices are in a great conversion in the former Hydraulic Pumping Station by Burnet, Son , and Campbell at Princes Dock /Pacific Quay (next to Beat FM) with the chimney that is in the form of a Tower of the ...
