I can see this site has a long development history.

All that I am conscious of and continually reminded of, is how far the ideological ground has shifted beneath us over the last 40 years.

How incrementally and how insidiously, so that we think of this and tacitly accept this as a 'norm', or even worse, somehow 'good' when it is in fact void of anything or values that could be called civilised.

After all, who needs a structured urban society when you have a smartphone?

These buildings are warehouses, just like the now-demolished red road flats were latterly warehouses for 'immigrants' - These super scaled-up buildings are no more than repositories for 'students' wrapped in a veneer of mannerist tat with self-contained cells accessed by Kafka-esque escape routes. The grindingly banal functionalism of planning efficiency (we may as well all just eat astronaut food). All hail the mighty dolla!

An exemplar of capitalism.

Suck it up.

As a place for students to live, this is leagues above the unheated, damp, claustrophobic HMO flat in Hillhead my wife occupied while she was at uni.

As a standalone example of modern architecture, it's absolutely irredeemable in every single regard.

Depends what you're looking for, really.

An utter disgrace that another backhander to some fat cat councillor in Glasgow has led to the building of another monstrous eye sore. Yet another blight on the once wonderful West End, for soulless property investors and rich students. It adds nothing to the city's past, present or future.
