Architects protest over Glasgow project

摘要

Architects held a protest in Glasgow this week over a controversial decision to grant planning permission for GD Lodge's proposed redevelopment of Broomielaw Quay, a joint venture between Capella Developments and the city council. The protest was organised by the New Glasgow Society, a charity that promotes high standards of architecture and planning. It hopes that the council will reconsider the project and is backed by prominent Glasgow architect Alan Dunlop. Earlier this month, councillors approved plans for a £10 million scheme comprising four two-storey pavilions containing restaurants and shops. Council planning officers recommended the project for approval despite criticism from Architecture & Design Scotland and Glasgow's urban design panel.
