This book brings together a selection of Glasgow's more famous buildings and describes them from an engineering perspective - but in a way that is interesting and readily understood. Each chapter provides an insight into the decisions faced and the methods adopted when a building of major significance is planned and constructed. From the gleaming 'Armadillo' of the modern era to the underground and symbols of Glasgow's past; from the foundations beneath many of the city's dwellings to the three top football stadia; each building provides an insight into the application of engineering and forms a part of the fabric of an evolving city.
All the authors are leading engineers with experience of the construction industry in Glasgow. As such the book provides a valuable and fascinating account suitable for the general public, school pupils and university students, indeed anyone with an interest in the city, buildings and engineering, history or architecture.
