i dont know if the intenion of urban realm is to intentialnlly be contraversial or not....but at the same time that pleas go out for scottish architecture, and architecture as a whole to be recognised by the wider public, and that contributors to this website bemoan the use of international architects because they feel that scotalnd has enough home grown talent.........YOU PUBLISH THIS.........
i.....but if you are trying to promote the debate (and ultimately) the standard of architecture in scotland.....can you stop publishing projects which have less scope and effort in their presentation than somebody buying an ikea kitchen wardrobe and painting the wal next to it a bright colour.
come on guys........set some standards

Clearly absolutely nothing else happened today.

Reporting of non-stories such as this, added to the god-awful puns that headline almost every article really serve to make this site quite cringe-worthy as a representation of Scottish architectural output.

To clarify, this is not meant to criticise the featured project in any way.

Low profile, low budget projects from smaller practices are an important part of what we do - always have been. The issue is one of balance by getting the proportion right with the high profile work. Do we have that perfect? No. Are we working hone it? Yes.

Architectural quality is another issue and in this particular instance I think we have an example of a building type well executed. But even if it were not that is a discussion in itself and something we designed the comments system to accommodate.

As regards headlines these are intended to convey information first and foremost, yes. They are also meant to be fun. Clearly some puns are going to work better in a print format than online and that is something we are conscious of but the site, at heart, is supposed to be enjoyable.
