Scotland: Building for the Future

Scotland: Building for the Future, a conference on the post-war architecture of Scotland, was held on Tuesday 24th November 2009.

In post-war Scotland there was a belief among key decision-makers that the world could be made better by design. New homes, schools and churches – even entire new towns – could be planned, designed and built for the benefit of all.

The conference aimed to promote discussion on the protection of Scotland’s post-war architectural heritage, and was opened by Michael Russell, the Minister for Culture, External Affairs and the Constitution, as well as a gathering of distinguished speakers and panellists.
