    Post-war

    As a former resident of a GKC building (albeit for just under a week, aged 0), I was sad to learn this Civic Trust Award winning building had been demolished. Add to this that I spent four years living in an Edinburgh towerblock has led to an affection for post-war Scottish architecture. Nice to see ILike provide a link to Historic Scotland's PDF guide to the genre.

    The image here is of Langlee Housing Estate, Galashiels by Wheeler and Sproson from 1967 - crisp primary forms with asymmetric facade compositions which could be mistaken for something more recent.
