Forth Road Bridge, uno de los proyectos arquitectónicos más prestigiosos en 1960.

La arquitectura en la Escocia moderna abarca todos los edificios en Escocia, desde principios del siglo veinte hasta estos días. El arquitecto más significativo del siglo veinte fue Charles Rennie Mackintosh, quien mezclo elementos de la arquitectura de la Escocia tradicional con movimientos contemporáneos. El diseño de la casa de estado declino la importancia en el siglo veinte. En las primeras décadas del siglo, los materiales tradicionales le dieron entrada a materiales nuevos más baratos. Después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, el modernismo y los bloques de oficinas empezaron a dominar los edificios en las grandes ciudades e intentos por improvisar la calidad de las casas urbanas para los pobres, fue resultado de un masivo programa del consulado de la construcción del hogar. El estilo Neo-gótico continuo en el siglo veinte, pero las formas más comunes en esa época fueron los edificios masivos y planos del estilo Neo-Romanezco

Después de la segunda guerra mundial, los conjuntos de torres brutalistas, fueron adoptados como una solución y ésta época fui el crecimiento de nuevos pueblos, incluyendo Glenrothes y Cumbernauld, pero los problemas sociales y de edificios the éstas construcciones pronto se vieron. La creación the nuevos pueblos y de la casa del consulado del estado necesitaban la rápida creación de iglesias. Desde 1980 la arquitectura Escocesa empezó a recuperar su reputación, con nuevos edificios como la casa de Burrell Collection en Glasgow y más recientemente el edificio del Parlamento Escocés en Edinburgh. También existe la regeneración urbana, involucrando el remplazo y la renovación de edificios existentes y paisajes. Los 80s vieron el crecimiento de edificios de vivienda especulativos por creadores y la introducción del ladrillo Inglés y el medio enmaderado del estilo vernacular a Escocia. Hubo un regreso al conservatismo en el diseño de las iglesias, pero hubieron algunos diseños originales y post-modernistas en los años ochentas gracias a la producción del patrocinio del estado en el subsidio de las casas en los años setentas.

Estilo de Glasgow en los principios del siglo veinte

El arquitecto más significativo a principios del siglo veinte en la arquitectura Escocesa, teniendo una considerable influenza en la arquitectura Europea, fue Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928). Mezcló elementos del barón escocés, artes y movimiento de las artes y el arte Nouveau (nuevo) para producir modernos edificios elegantes. Su mayor trabajo incluyo The Willow Tearooms en Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow (1903), Glasgow School of Art (1897-1909) y Hill House, Helensburgh (1902-04. La influencia del diseño de Mackintosh´s Glasgow se puede apreciar en trabajos de arquitectos como James Salmon (1873-1924), cuyos diseños incluyen el pesado vidrio al frente, arte nueva "Hatrack" (1899-1902) en Vincent Street y Lion Chambers, Hope Street (1904-05), una temprana explicación para la construcción del concreto reforzado.

Glasgow School of Art, considerado uno de los más grandes diseños de Charles Rennie Mackintosh

La casa del estado del diseño declino importancia en el siglo veinte. Una excepción fue el trabajo llevado acabo por John Kinross (1855-1955). Empezando con la reconstrucción de la casa Thurston, Dunbar, desde 1890, llevo a cabo una serie mayor de casas de diseño del país.[1] La más importante fue Manderston House (1901-03), construido para James Miller en el estilo Adam.[2] El castillo Skibo fue reconstruido para el industrialista Andrew Carnegie (1899-1903) por Ross y Macbeth. El arquitecto inglés C.H.B. Quennell diseño una mansión neo-Georgiana en Altmore (1912-14) para el dueño de una tienda departamental en Moscow. Hubo una calma en el edificio después de la Primer Guerra Mundial y el cambio social empezó la construcción de una casa rural. [3]

En el siglo veinte el distintivo uso Escocés de la piedra en la arquitectura fue remplazado por alternativas más baratas como Portland cement, concreto, y ladrillos en producción masiva. La piedra se mantendría como un material para casas en Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dumfries, y experimentaría renacimientos.[4] En el siglo veinte la arquitectura privada creció en que el cliente la condujera.[5] James Robert Rhind (1854-1918) el hijo de David Rhine, le fue bien en la competición para la construcción de nuevas librerías en Glasgow siguiendo el regalo a la ciudad de Andrew Carnegie de £100,000 en 1901. Sus diseños fueron elegidos para siete librerías, demostrando su interpretación personal de la arquitectura Edwardian Baroque. Las librerías de Rhind fueron todas construidas con arena extraída localmente, que se mezclo con las viviendas existentes de los vecinos. Sus edificios fueron exitosamente alzados por su uso liberal de las columnas, domos y figuras esculpidas.[6] James Miller (1860-1947) es reconocido por sus estaciones de ferrocarriles en Escocia, también por su extensión de la Estación Central de Ferrocarriles en Glasgow,[7] y la espectacular Estación de Ferrocarriles en Wemyss Bay en Firth of Clyde.[8]

Inicio del modernismo

Después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, Miller y su jefe de diseño Richard Gunn (1889-1933) junto con otros, se adaptaron a las necesidades de crecimiento de los bloques de oficinas. En Glasgow, con su plan central "gridiron", éste plan seguía la practica de Estados Unidos de llenar cuadras enteras, y construir edificios de acero tan altos como el departamento de bomberos lo apruebe, como en el edificio Banco de Escocia (1924) con influenza americana ubicado en la calle St Vincent Street.[9] Desde mediados del siglo veinte, la arquitectura pública se convirtió más utilitaria, como parte del impulso para producir un compresivo bienestar del estado.[5] Thomas S. Tait (1882-1954) fue el arquitecto modernista más importante de la era, usando diseños piramidales escalonados como la casa St Andrew´s, Edinburgh (1935-39) construida para la oficina escocesa, y la "Torre del Imperio" (1939) para la Exhibición del Imperio, Escocia 1938, puesta en Bellahouston Park, Glasgow.[5] Hubo un periodo de calma en construir después de la Primera Guerra Mundial y el cambio social determino la construcción de las casas rurales. Casos aislados incluyen las casas que combinan métodos modernos y tradicionales, diseñadas por Basil Spence y construidas por Broughton Place (1936) y Gribloch (1937-9).[3] Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial una escasez en materiales de construcción reducio el número de grandes casas lujosas. Ejemplos aislados incluyen la casa Logan, diseñada por David Style en los años cincuenta. En los sesentas hubo un diseño de Basil Hughes en Snaigow para el Earl of Cadogan y la remodelación de la Gask House por Claude Phillimore. Éste periodo también vio considerables restauraciones de casas existentes. [3]

Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial el gobierno empezó a preocuparse de los problemas de las casas en Escocia, particularmente despeñes de la huelga de alquiler en Glasgow en 1915. Una comisión royal en 1917 reporto de "

During the First World War the government became increasingly aware of Scotland's housing problems, particularly after the Glasgow rent strike of 1915. A royal commission of 1917 reported on the "unspeakably filthy privy-middens in many of the mining areas, badly constructed incurably damp labourers' cottages on farms, whole townships unfit for human occupation in the crofting counties and islands ... groups of lightless and unventilated houses in the older burghs, clotted masses of slums in the great cities".[10] The result was a massive programme of council house building. Many early council houses were built on greenfield sites away from the pollution of the city, often constructed of semi-detached homes or terraced cottages. Knightswood, north-west of Glasgow, was built as a show piece from 1923–29, with a library, social centre and seven shopping "parades". In the 1930s schemes tended to be more cheaply built, like Blackhill, Glasgow, with a thousand houses built as two and three story tenements. These building schemes were designed to rehouse those displaced by urban slum clearance, by which thousands of tenements were demolished. However, often crammed into poor land near railways or gasworks, they soon became notorious. A survey of 1936 found that almost half of Scotland's houses were still inadequate.[10]

St. Patrick's Church, Orangefield in (1934–35) Greenock, one of Gillespie, Kidd & Coia pre-war brick-style architecture

The Neo-Gothic style that had become almost universal for church building in the late nineteenth century continued in to the twentieth, with examples including L. G. Thomson's Reid Memorial Church, Edinburgh (1929–33). However, the most common forms in this period were plain and massive Neo-Romanesque buildings. Protestant examples included H. O. Tarbolton's Bangour Village Church (1924–30) and Roman Catholic examples included Reginald Fairlie's Immaculate Conception Church, Fort William (1933–34).[11] The reunification of the Church of Scotland in 1929 removed much of the need for new Presbyterian church-building, which was replaced by a tendency towards renovating nineteenth-century churches. The main tendency in church design in the 1930s was a move towards classicism. There were isolated large classical Protestant commissions, such as Bristo Baptist Church, Edinburgh (1933–35), but the major buildings in this form were in the Catholic Church where there was a movement towards worshipper-centred basilican plans, after the pontificate of Pius X (1903–14). This movement reached its peak in the 1960s after the Second Vatican Council.[11] The leading figure in pursuing this style was Giacomo Antonio (Jack) Coia of Gillespie, Kidd & Coia. From the later 1920s he pursued a brick style of Catholic architecture. Coia's first church, St Anne's, Dennistoun (1931), utilised the engineering techniques of Beaux-Arts architecture, resulting in a broad, centralised space, with narrow arcades rather than aisles, with a monumental facade of red-brick. He used a more linear plan in subsequent designs, including St Patrick, Greenock (1934–35). Coia's partner T. Warnett Kennedy's temporary, open-roofed Catholic chapel at the Empire Exhibition (1938) was fronted by a Mackintosh-like grid of metalwork, and with his St Peter in Chains Church, Ardrossan (1938), with austere walls and towers, showed the influence of the "abstract compositions" of contemporary Swedish architecture and pointed to the future influence of modernism.[12]

Post-war brutalism

The eight towers of the brutalist Red Road Flats, Glasgow

In the post-war period Scotland continued to produce important architects, including James Stirling (1926–92), who, with James Gowan (1923–) designed the Flats at Ham Common, London (1955–58), considered a landmark in the development of modernist, brutalist residential planning, a style which would have a profound impact in Scotland.[13] Their later work, almost all of it outside of Scotland, would be highly influential on an international scale.[14]

The main thrust of post-war planning would be one of clearance and rebuilding, beginning in Paisley, where from 1955 the populations of districts were decanted, the buildings demolished and rebuilding began, resulting, in the first district, George Street/ Canal Street, in low flats in render and reused rubble around landscaped courtyards, with a 15-storey tower at one end.[15] As the post-war desire for urban regeneration gained momentum it would focus on the tower block, championed in Glasgow by David Gibson, convener of the city housing committee. Projects like the brutalist Red Road Flats originally offered hope of a new beginning and an escape from the overcrowded nineteenth-century tenements of the city, but lacked a sufficient infrastructure and soon deteriorated. They also made extensive use of asbestos as a fire retardant, leading to long term health problems for builders and residents.[16] Robert Matthew (1906–75) and Basil Spence (1907–76) were responsible for redeveloping the Gorbals in Glasgow, for demolitions at the University of Edinburgh and the stark rebuilding typified by the David Hume Tower (1960–63).[5] The new confidence of this period can also be seen in infrastructure projects, of which the Forth Road Bridge (opened 1962) was a key example.[17]

St. Paul's R.C. Church, Glenrothes, one of the first modernist churches produced by Gillespie, Kidd & Coia

Another solution adopted in Scotland was the building of new towns like Glenrothes (1948) and Cumbernauld (1956), designed to take excess population from the cities.[18] These used a new low, dense pattern of community design, with terraced cottages and low flats.[19] Cumbernauld was praised for its architecture when first built, but the uncompleted centre and the layout of the town in general, were receiving heavy criticism by the twenty-first century: its modernist architecture described by one resident as "the lego fantasy of an unhappy child".[20] The brutalist tendency in comprehensive Scottish urban planning would be derided by critics for its "tabula rasa planning" and "architect's arrogance".[21]

The creation of new towns and council house estates necessitated the rapid supply of new churches.[22] The austerity, shortage of materials and need for rapid building, discouraged the development of innovative design. This was accompanied by the rejection by most architects of traditional forms in favour of "international modernism", characterised by simple outlines, uncluttered internal spaces, absence of colour, and flat roofs.[23] The Catholic Church, whose traditional membership was most affected by the changes in housing, was the first to react to this situation, creating 76 new parishes between 1845 and 1960 in the west of the country alone. The Baptist and Episcopalian churches followed close behind, particularly in the new towns.[22] Within the Church of Scotland, the closeness of congregation and clergy was expressed in the domestic plainness of 1950s dual-use hall churches, as at Reiach's Kildrum Parish Church, Cumbernauld (completed 1962), a steel framed building, clad in timber and brick with a flat roof.[24] Of 129 buildings erected by the Church of Scotland between 1948 and 1959, 108 were on this basic pattern.[22]

Postmodernism: 1980s to the present

Glasgow Tower, Scotland's tallest tower, and the IMAX Cinema at the Glasgow Science Centre

From the 1980s there was a backlash against the statism and compressive nature of modernist architecture. Instead there was a move towards a form of post-modernism that looked to a clash of styles with a renewed emphasis on visual aesthetics that invoked classicism. There was also a combination of the private and the public.[25] This movement against modernism also included renewed influence by the Scots baronial and Mackintosh-inspired designs; these can be seen respectively in the Scandic Crown Hotel (1988–89) in the Old Town in Edinburgh and the National Library Causewayside Building (1985–87, extended 1993–94).[26] The most significant figure in the development of architecture in Scotland from the 1980s was the academic Charles McKean. He was secretary and treasurer of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) from 1979 to 1995. He argued against motorway expansion and the production of grey, colourless monoliths. Early private works influenced by these ideas included the D. & D. Warehouse, Centre Street and the Bank of Pakistan in Sauchiehall Street, both in Glasgow.[25] Public structures included the building to house the Burrell Collection in Glasgow (1981)[27] and the Glasgow Sheriff Court (1980–86).[25]

Since the 1990s there has been a return to some elements of modernism, particularly in major public building projects.[28] Recent major public buildings include the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Glasgow (1997), designed by Norman Foster (1935–) and known for its segmented, curving roof as "the Armadillo",[29] and the many striking modern buildings along the side of the River Clyde,[27] such as the Glasgow Science Centre, IMAX Cinema and Glasgow Tower (2001), which is the highest in Scotland.[30] The most important public building of the early twenty-first century is the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh, designed by Enric Miralles (1955–2000) and opened in 2004, with a design that recalls upturned fishing boats.[31] There have been increasing attempts to preserve much of what survives from Scotland's architectural heritage, including the great buildings and monuments, but also the classically influenced houses of towns like Edinburgh and Glasgow[32] and the surviving tenements, many of which have been renovated, restored from the black fronts created by pollution to their original pink and honeyed sandstone,[33] and brought up to modern standards of accommodation.[34] Urban regeneration has also been attempted in areas of post-industrial decline, like the Merchant City in Glasgow, which was returned to housing from the 1980s, with warehouse loft conversions,[35] and, more recently, the waterfront in Edinburgh, resulting in a return of resident populations to major urban centres.[36]

Modern housing at Woodend, Aberdeen, built in brick, half timbering can be seen in the distance

The 1980s saw the growth of speculative house building by developers. These introduced English brick and half-timbered vernacular styles to Scotland, which had been largely unknown before this period. Many were small and built to minimum standards with little regard to energy or environmental issues. Sales of council houses were popular in Scotland and until the mid-1990s as, unlike in England, local authorities could use the whole of their capital receipts for development.[37] Under the Scottish Assembly, Scottish Homes was abolished and replaced by Communities Scotland in 2001, which had a responsibility to provide affordable housing and environmental improvement.[38] In 2011 it was in turn replaced by the Scottish Housing Regulator, whose remit includes Scottish local authority landlords.[39]

As the production of state sponsored housing subsided in the 1970s, there was a return to conservatism in church design, which may have reflected a loss of confidence in the churches as attendances rapidly declined.[23] M. Glendinning, R. MacInnes and A. MacKechnie have identified a "post-Coia" style emerging in this period.[40] The limited number of new buildings, some replacing existing churches, tended to be produced by building companies using laminated timber beams, exposed brickwork and pyramidal roofs to produce utilitarian, if aesthetically unadventurous, constructions.[23] From the late 1980s there were some original designs, including St Mary the Virgin, in Port Glasgow (1984) by Frank Burnet, Bell and Partners; St Anthony's Catholic church in Kirriemuir (1987), by James F. Stephen Architects; and the replacement church at St Joseph's Catholic Church, Faifley (1997) by Jacobsen and French.[23] There was also the postmodern design of St John Ogalvy Catholic Church, Irvine (1982),[40] and the nearby Girdle Toll parish church (1992), which was converted from a farmhouse.[23]
