Glasgow From Above offers a unique perspective of Glasgow’s ever-changing 21st Century skyline and rich architectural heritage captured by a series of impressive aerial imagery by talented photographer Alistair Leith.
From the ornate Victorian buildings to the contemporary architectural responses - every image captures the sculptural details and multi-layered cityscapes in breathtaking detail. The backdrop of the multi-layered cityscape and the landscape beyond is captured in Scotland’s dramatic variations of light conditions through the changing seasons. The accompanying text by Glasgow-born architect Rosalie Menon discusses the evolution of the city’s urban environment, placing it within the context of Glasgow’s rich Victorian heritage and post-industrial challenges.
Published by EatSleepArchitecture, this creative collaboration will appeal to those new to the city and those who have watched it evolve since it celebrated the City of Architecture and Design, almost 25 years ago.
