The challenge was to create a highlycontemporary office building between two of thecity‟s most recognised and respected listedstructures2

The Radisson Blu : The hotel is located within a once rundown area of the citywhich is now part of Glasgow‟s new financial services district and an interestingresponse to an uninspiring context. The dominant feature is a 60 metre longsculptural wall, clad in pre-patinated copper. The wall accommodates the shiftfrom the city‟s Victorian grid edge on the north side, to the older street line tothe south which stretches down to the river.A full height atrium sits between the wall and the main body of the hotel. Atground level the atrium is fully glazed onto the street and has a number of publicfunctions, including a restaurant and bar. Glass lifts glide up and down the fivestorey atrium and guests cross a glass bridge to a suite of specialist rooms.Internally the sculptural wall is clad in timber to look like steel plate, reminiscentof the great ships that were once built nearby.The Radisson Blu has succeeded in bringing glamour and drama to Glasgow andevokes parallels some of the USA‟s grandest hotels.

The Sentinel Building : An opportunity to create something special inGlasgow, something that you would not expect in a commercial projectand underline the principle that making a building first rate architectureand also a real commercial success are not incompatible objectives.

Hazelwood : A school for children and young people, aged 2 to 18, who areblind and deaf – “dual sensory impaired”. Architecturally, it is a new type ofproject. Many of the school‟s children are physically handicapped and allhave a degree of cognitive impairment. Together they represent the mostacutely disabled children on the city of Glasgow‟s education role. They willneed lifetime support. I was determined to create a school which wouldsupport the needs of the children and the aspirations of their parents, aplace of safety and ambition that would free the teacher and inspire thechild.Hazelwood School has been a real success. The children and young peoplerespond well to their new environment and appear to be thriving. They aresupported by committed teachers in a bespoke school that their parentslove and take ownership for. The building has received multiple national andinternational awards and I am delighted and humbled by the response to it.

Radiographicsystems not specifically covered inparagraphs (d), (e), (f)(2), (f)(3), and (h)of this section and systems covered inparagraph (f)(1) of this section, whichare also designed for use with extraoralimage receptors and when used with anextraoral image receptor, shall be providedwith means to limit the x-rayfield in the plane of the image receptorso that such field does not exceed eachdimension of the image receptor bymore than 2 percent of the SID, whenthe axis of the x-ray beam is perpendicularto the plane of the image receptor.In addition, means shall be providedto align the center of the x-rayfield with the center of the image receptorto within 2 percent of the SID,or means shall be provided to both sizeand align the x-ray field such that thex-ray field at the plane of the image receptordoes not extend beyond any edgeof the image receptor. These requirementsmay be met with:(i) A system which performs in accordancewith paragraphs (d) and (e) ofthis section; or when alignment meansare also provided, may be met with either;(ii) An assortment of removable,fixed-aperture, beam-limiting devicessufficient to meet the requirement foreach combination of image receptorsize and SID for which the unit is designed.Each such device shall haveclear and permanent markings to indicatethe image receptor size and SIDfor which it is designed; or(iii) A beam-limiting device havingmultiple fixed apertures sufficient tomeet the requirement for each combinationof image receptor size and SIDfor which the unit is designed.

When a PBL system isprovided, it shall prevent x-ray productionwhen:(i) Either the length or width of thex-ray field in the plane of the image receptordiffers from the correspondingimage receptor dimension by morethan 3 percent of the SID; or(ii) The sum of the length and widthdifferences as stated in paragraph(g)(1)(i) of this section without regardto sign exceeds 4 percent of the SID.(iii) The beam limiting device is atan SID for which PBL is not designedfor sizing.(2) Conditions for PBL. When provided,the PBL system shall function as describedin paragraph (g)(1) of this sectionwhenever all the following conditionsare met:(i) The image receptor is insertedinto a permanently mounted cassetteholder;(ii) The image receptor length andwidth are less than 50 cm;(iii) The x-ray beam axis is within ±3degrees of vertical and the SID is 90 cmto 130 cm inclusive; or the x-ray beamaxis is within ±3 degrees of horizontaland the SID is 90 cm to 205 cm inclusive;(iv) The x-ray beam axis is perpendicularto the plane of the image receptorto within ±3 degrees; and(v) Neither tomographic nor stereoscopicradiography is being performed.(3) Measuring compliance. Compliancewith the requirements of paragraph(g)(1) of this section shall be determinedwhen the equipment indicatesthat the beam axis is perpendicular tothe plane of the image receptor and theprovisions of paragraph (g)(2) of thissection are met. Compliance shall bedetermined no sooner than 5 secondsafter insertion of the image receptor.(4) Operator initiated undersizing.

South Rotunda : In 1895, the Glasgow HarbourTunnel Company's pride and joy, the North andSouth Rotundas were about to be opened afterfive years of excavating under the Clyde.For nearly eighty years the tunnel connecting bothrotundas provided a safe crossing for pedestriansand goods.Today, the south rotunda stands alone andneglected, bordered by new roads and left overgreen space.These proposals indicate how the south rotundacould be once again brought into use andre-connected with the river through well designedmaster-planning and place-making.

JKS Workshops : Inexpensive start up warehouse units with a design edge.The brief was straightforward and the budget tight. The blocks are basic but lifted by the use of strong colour,light boxes and pattern. Known as the Castle Stitch, the pattern gives the units a distinct identity and was usedon Singer sewing machines. The Singer company was one of the areas largest employers until the factoryclosed in 1980.
