Edinburgh: A Guide to Recent Architecture

 
It would be natural to assume that the large amount of new construction in Edinburgh is a consequence of its restored role as a capital city with political purpose, signified most dramatically by the siting here of the new Scottish parliament. But factors more mundane than the urgings of the "democratic spirit" can explain this spate of building. Discontinued Item. Limited Availability.

Description
 
Edinburgh's position as the fourth-biggest financial centre in Europe; the incidence of developer rather than open competitions; and the invitation extended to the American modernist architect Richard Meier to come up with a masterplan for the design of Edinburgh Park business center, have brought responses to the city's 1970s love-affair with the motor-car and to the resultant problems of a fractured city.

Around a hundred entries in this book give a framework for understanding what all this means for Edinburgh's built environment and for reading recent architectural design in the city.
