    Glasgow Tower

    On the south side of the Clyde lies the Glasgow Tower opened in 2001. It is the worlds tallest 360 degree rotating building as it aligns to the direction of the wind. Its like a large upended wing and contains two lift shafts and set of stairs to a viewing platform. Beside this lies the arched Glasgow Science Centre and bubble pea-pod IMAX cinema.

    Curves on the Clyde

    I’m making no apologies for showing more and more views and details around the Glasgow Science Centre, Tower and IMAX cinema buildings. These are organic and curvaceous buildings growing from the ground. Unlike the rabbit hutch BBC Scotland building next door.
    Apart from this first shot 🙂
