Our team brought together researchers with complementary expertise. Professor Miles Glendinning has worked extensively on twentieth-century Scottish architecture. Professor Lynn Abrams and Dr Valerie Wright are social historians whose previous work had included studies of East Kilbride new town and the experience of high-rise housing in post-war Glasgow. Dr Alistair Fair is a historian of twentieth-century architecture and planning whose work looks at Scotland and the wider UK. Dr Kat Breen has researched post-war housing in Fife, while Dr Diane Watters is not only a much-published historian of post-war Scottish architecture but also, as someone brought up in Cumbernauld, brought a unique perspective to our work.
Here’s the team at a recent event at the RIAS bookshop to launch our Open Access book:
