The focus of this issue is squarely President on the West Coast: with the amount of headlines generated by Glasgow City Simon Green MA, FSA, FSA Scot Council’s plans for George Square and the news of the Burrell Collection’s listed Chairman Peter Drummond status and upcoming renovation, there has been enough happening in the area recently to more than fill these pages! Hon Treasurer Hamish Macbeth WAs ever, we have a wide range of contributors, each offering their own perspective and point of Commisioning Editors view on the issues facing the sector. The competition to revamp George Square in Glasgow is probably Gordon Barr one of the most publicly controversial architectural projects in recent years – with over 4,000 people Laura Gutierrez signing a petition calling for the rejection of all shortlisted options. While the long term future of the Reviews Editor square is still under discussion, we feature writer and critic Johnny Rodger’s take on the controversy, Mark Cousins some rather off-the-wall alternative proposals and the views expressed by the Society’s Strathclyde Design cases panel. We hope the opinions contained within these pages will challenge and entertain our Pinpoint Scotland Ltd. readers in equal measure. We both have strong and fond associations with the Society, Gordon as a long time member and frequent contributor to previous magazines and Laura as a former Director.

The motorway, combined with the Clyde, creates the impression of a “walled city” and in some ways creates a barrier which separates elements of the city centre which were never designed to be separated. The eastern edge of the city centre is less clearly defined and is the historic heart of the city, however while fragments of its historic roots remain its new identity is yet to be fully formed. The River Clyde acts as a barrier in its current condition with a lack of activity on both sides creating an inhospitable environment, and the Clyde is not yet a destination in its own right. While the City Centre Strategy will be based on the Development Plan boundary, it will also include areas that lie on the edge which are strategically important despite falling outwith the official boundary. This will ensure that areas like the cultural regeneration of the Clyde, the emerging North Quarter, and activity on the East End and in Tradeston can be incorporated into the strategic planning for the city centre. www.glasgow.gov.uk Getting Ahead of Change: Glasgow City Centre Strategy 2013–18 03 Sighthill Cowcaddens Kelvingrove Garnethill Townhead Blythswood Glasgow Anderston City Centre Merchant City Broomielaw St Enoch The Barras Districts Strategy • Districts Nine new Districts will have discrete area strategies developed around their current and future attraction, amenity and speciality.

In response, one of my fellow Commissioners, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, noted that the work of this Commission was a sacred duty to the memory of both victims and survivors of the Holocaust. One year on, having concluded its work in presenting this report, I believe that the Commission has fulfilled that duty and has provided a set of recommendations which will give effect to an appropriate and compelling memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and to all of those who were persecuted by the Nazis.
