Royal Exchange Square

Free hand sketch showing some architectural details of Royal Exchange Square and describing the public circulation as:

  • Arch much grander and seemingly larger than other side,
  • View through Arch very exciting due to different colours of stones, some are greenery,
  • Buildings facing definite traffic route visible (Buchanan St.) where people are seen walking one way and the other unlike on this side of Arch where several roads meet and there is random movement.

Scotland Street School, North Elevation

Free hand sketch showing the north elevation of Scotland Street School including some architectural descriptions, for example, "scale has been a major design factor in this building for children, windows diminish in height as they rise from the floor, and the wall has been set back to lessen the effect of three stories. Not every room in a building has the same height, each houses a different function and should be designed with that function in mind".
