An illustrated talk featuring buildings from Glasgow’s Victorian era, many of which have undergone adaptive re-use over the last 10-15 years. The examples celebrate the impressive conservation, creativity and investment undertaken to repurpose these architectural treasures and weave these historical fragments into the urban fabric of post-industrial 21st Century Glasgow.
