Introduction

Historic Scotland’s recent publication Scotland: Building for the Future Essays on the Architecture of the Post-War Era is intended to broaden awareness of post-war architecture in Scotland and address the debate about the protection of Scotland’s significant post-war buildings. The topic was also the subject of a Historic Scotland Conference in Dundee on 24 November 2009.

Background to the Period Following a period of general austerity in the 1940s and 50s, rapidly developing technology and a period of reconstruction, based on a commitment by the public sector to address poor housing conditions and improve public health, after the Second World War resulted in a boom period for 20th century architecture. New homes, schools, tower blocks, motorways and churches – even entire new towns – were planned, designed and built for the benefit of the community. Modernism in architecture and design were closely linked with this widespread faith in reconstruction. Post-war architecture is often associated with unsuccessful high-rise housing projects and bland shopping centres. The idea of giving statutory protection to buildings built after 1945 is often a contentious issue. They do not have the merit of age and frequently do not have clear aesthetic value. However, the post-war years have produced many buildings of architectural quality.

Statutory Listing Criteria Historic Scotland’s Criteria for Selection of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest specifies that buildings erected after 1945 may merit inclusion on the Statutory List if their special architectural or historic interest is of definite quality. It notes that the listing of buildings which are less than 30 years old requires exceptional rigor because there is not a long historical perspective. The criteria are based on rarity, architectural or historic interest, and close historic association.

Stock – Scotland/ Edinburgh There are currently 192 buildings (42 Category A, 120 Category B and 30 Category C(S)) erected after the Second World War which have been listed for their special architectural or historic interest in Scotland. 52 of these (13 Category A, 29 Category B and 10 Category C(S)) are within Edinburgh. Edinburgh, therefore, has 27% of the post 1945 listed buildings in Scotland (31% of the Category A, 24% of the Category B and 33% of the Category C(S)). Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Introduction

The most recent inclusion on the Statutory List is the Hudson Beare Lecture Theatre (1961) at the University of Edinburgh Kings Buildings which was listed in December 2009. The shortest time between construction of a building and inclusion on the Statutory List is the four year period between the completion of the replica building at 114-116 George Street and its listing in 1996. The building at the junction of Queen Street and 12 North St David Street was previously listed prior to its replication in 1969. The earliest building is the institutional housing for disabled ex-servicemen at the Thistle Foundation on Niddrie Mains Road, which dates from 1946, and the most recent is the replica Georgian building at 114- 116 George Street, which dates from 1992. The most recent building in a modern architectural style is the Scottish Widows Fund building, dating from 1972- 76, on Dalkeith Road.

Building Types There are a total of 13 housing developments, 9 offices, 8 university buildings, 5 individual houses, 4 churches and 3 telephone exchanges. Buildings represented by single buildings include a school, a swimming pool, a bridge, a crematorium building, a department store and a greenhouse at the Botanic Gardens. Buildings constructed to replicate Georgian developments are represented by four items: 2, 2a & 3 Queen Street and 12 North St David Street; 10 & 12 Young Street Lane; 40 & 42 George Street and 114-116 Queen Street.

Prominent Architects Sir Basil Spence (1907-1976), one of the most important and versatile British architects of the post-War period, is associated in the design of eleven of the buildings. These include the group of five residential items dating from 1957 in Newhaven, the office development at 9-10 St Andrew Square (1956), a residential block on the Canongate(1961-69), Mortonhall Crematorium (1967), Edinburgh University library on George Square (1965), the Scottish Widows Offices on Dalkeith Road (1972) and St Andrew’s Church on Clermisiton View (1953). Spence was the architect of some of the most significant international post-War buildings such as Coventry Cathedral, the executive wing of the New Zealand Parliament Buildings and the British Embassy in Rome.

The architectural firm of Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall and Partners were responsible for four items for the University at George Square: the David Hume Tower, the William Robertson Building, the Adam Ferguson Building, and the George Square Theatre. The University had first purchased property in George Square in 1914 and began a major programme of redevelopment in 1949. The plans were controversial involving the redevelopment of Georgian buildings on the Square. Four other University buildings are included: Adam House on Chambers Street by William H Kininmonth; Pollock halls of Residence, Dalkeith Road by Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth and Paul; George Square Library by Basil Spence and the Hudson Beare lecture Theatre at Kings Buildings by Robert Gardner-Medwin.

Survey

The architectural firm of Morris and Steedman feature with three modern-movement houses: Avisfield, 12 Cramond Road North (1955); the Hunt/Steedman Houses, 65- 67 Ravelston Dykes Road (1961) and the Sillito House, 32 Charterhall Road (1962). Avisfield was one of the first modern-movement houses built in Scotland. The quality and inventiveness of Morris and Steedman’s one-off houses set them apart from other modern Scottish architectural practices. Two other individual houses by different architects are included: Clapperfield, Nether Liberton (1959) by Stuart Renton and 10a Greenhill Park (1966) by Alexander Esme Gordon.

Conclusions The protection and conservation of post-war buildings can return a heritage dividend, by giving new life to redundant buildings, establishing a sense of place, and attracting investment and support for regeneration. There are also strong arguments for the protection and retention of buildings of this period based on sustainability. They are often functional, flexible and well suited to re-use. There is a risk that many of these buildings may be lost before a longer time frame allows their true value to be appreciated. Many buildings of the Victorian period were lost due to a general distaste for gothic revival architecture in the 1950s and 60s, but as time moves on we can look at the past more clearly. There is a need for the appropriate assessment and identification of the most significant buildings of quality from this period which represent the best of modern architecture in order that they can be given the protection which listing provides. Consideration in terms of the high standards set by listing criteria is the most appropriate way to ensure that an appropriate assessment of significance is carried out and usefully informs the management of change.

Building Number Address Listing Category and date built and date listed 17-19 (odd nos) Clermiston View, St Andrew's 9 Church including Bell-Tower B 1953 16.03.2001

Architect Architect: Spence, Ferguson and Glover

St. Andrew Church is the only church built by Basil Spence in Scotland. The design appears to be pedestrian but is quite sophisticated. The main door leads into a small rectangular vestibule. However, the space of the church opens up upon entering the nave. The side walls diverge out until they reach the end wall at which point they converge in to meet one another. Thus the plan of the church is almost kite-shaped. This may be regarded as a modern interpretation of the cruciform plan traditionally favoured for its liturgical symbolism: if the ends of the Cross were all joined up the resulting shape would be a kite. The triangle dominates the design. This is especially clear on the exterior design, representing the Holy Trinity. The Cross and Ball atop the tower were covered in gold-leaf and this 'light of Christ' was intended to be seen over the Forth in Fife. St. Andrew Church is the local Church of Scotland church serving the residents of the Clermiston Housing Scheme. Originally, the site was the extension church of the Drumsheugh Parish Church, and the original structure still exists but is now used as a Scout Hut. However, in the 1950s the congregation moved permanently to the Clermiston site and Spence was commissioned to build a new church. In memory of the older church Spence used some stones from it in the construction of the new church. The triangular form that runs throughout Spence's church complements the plan of the estate, which is designed around the form of an open fan. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect William H Kininmonth

Modern-Neo-Classical University Examination Hall descending 8-storeys to lower ground to rear. Concrete with polished ashlars frontage to south. Adam House is a bold addition to the architecture of Chambers Street, making experimental use of Neo-Classical design principles while utilising contemparary materials and methods of construction. William Kininmonth was one of the leading Scottish exponents of International Modernism during the 1930s. Adam House's neo-classical facade was dismissed at the time of its construction as an ill-conceived throwback by a number of those in the architectural profession, while others championed it as a survival of an alternative Classical tradition. Kinninmonth stated in his `Notes on Adam House - 1955' that architecturally, the building "is intended as a visual reminder that the University is a store house of learning, much of which is valuable in any age" and that the "underlying intention of the architecture was to attempt the integration of contemporary materials and methods of construction into traditional principles of proportion". The name of the building commemorates the 18th century 'Adam Square', which was demolished to make way for Chambers Street under the 1867 City Improvement Act.

Architect Morris and Steadman

Avisfield was Morris and Steedman's first commission and was one of the first modern- movement houses to be built in Scotland. It therefore holds an important place in the history and understanding of the development of Scottish architecture, and simultaneously reflects international architectural developments and tastes of the period.

The practice of Morris and Steedman is recognised as a pioneer of modern architecture in Scotland. Avisfield demonstrates a number of characteristics that are commonly found in Morris and Steedman's subsequent work and are typical of their approach to design. The architectural form is strikingly modern, while the use of high walls and local sandstone creates a Scottish emphasis and a sense shelter: James Morris considered that the courtyard was a particularly Scottish feature of design. The building and its landscape setting have been designed as a whole. Internally, the imaginative use of space and the use of timber panelling for ceilings also foreshadow later work. Avisfield was built for Mr and Mrs Tomlinson at a total cost of £4950. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

6-storey and set back attic T-plan on square base office block. Polished black granite plinth at ground, surmounted by thin glazed clerestorey strip; upper floors clad in pale Derbydene marble.

The Scottish Widows Fund and Life Assurance Society acquired the relatively new premises of the Western Bank of Scotland at 9 St Andrew Square in 1859, and expanded into Nos 10 and 11 in the early 1930s. By 1956 they decided that they needed more accommodation and called in Basil Spence to design a new building for the site. This new head office was self-consciously built to harmonize with its neighbour the Guardian Royal Exchange, and is an understated but very sophisticated classical design in all respects. Only the finest materials were used (even on rear elevations), and the finishing throughout, internally and externally, is excellent. The principal entrance is a particularly successful piece of theatre, mirroring the treatment of 42 St Andrew Square which it faces, and the interior has survived much as Spence left it.

Classical Modernist university halls of residence and refectory group, of Swedish style, set in courtyard layout comprising 2 U-plan blocks arranged symmetrically on N-S axis (Blocks B and D) with 4 square-plan towers with concrete lanterns to ends; central refectory block to S with attenuated arcade to N; attached blocks (A and C) to NE and NW of refectory, creating inner courtyard. Hybrid construction of reinforced concrete and load-bearing brick and stone.

This important grouping of university residence buildings is a key work of Scottish Modernism, integral to the University's post-war expansion. The first two phases, Holland House Fraser House and the Refectory (now known as Holland House blocks A, B, C and D and the South Hall) were executed in an idiom often described as Festival Style, owing much to pre-war Swedish design, while attempting to acknowledge Scottish architectural tradition.

Architect Alison and Hutchison and Partners

Alison and Hutchison and Partners, 1958-1960. Substantial cross-plan, former telephone exchange; engine shed linked to E wing. Additional wing added to NE by Ministry of Works (W Robson, senior architect), 1969-1970. Reinforced concrete framing; brick cavity walls; cream sandstone cladding; squared pink rock-faced random rubble; facing brick; obscure glazing.

The Woodcroft Telephone Exchange is a significant example of public architecture of the late 1950s, demonstrating Scotland's approach to post-war modern architecture combining traditional materials with an overtly functional plan and form. This method of design exemplifies the newly invoked sensitivity to historic environment, while applying forthright ideals of planning and post-war modern architecture. Much of this building's interest lies in its grid patterning of exposed concrete framing, a glazed office wing on pilotis, the random rubble detailing, and its adaptable and expandable plan which saw the addition of the north-east wing in 1970.

This building was controversial at the time it was built, as it replaced a mid-19th century villa known as Woodcroft House. However, the location was crucial as it lay near the trunk telephone cables. Woodcroft Telephone Exchange, which serviced the south east of Scotland, was built during the great expansion of the Scottish communications network in the late 1950s and early 1960s when national and international telecommunications were being further developed.

Commissioned 1947; constructed 1958-64. Suspension road bridge over Forth Estuary. Twin suspension towers; main span 1006m with equal side spans of 408m (total 1822m); approach viaducts at either end supported on paired piers (10 pairs to S, 6 pairs to N), each joined at head by round arch; main deck and suspension towers of steel; approach viaducts steel box girder with concrete deck and concrete piers; suspension towers comprise twin legs (each 150m tall) connected by lattice bracing supporting cable saddles. Main cables anchored in rock below approach viaducts in concrete anchor chambers with Corennie granite transferred aggregate facing.

A landmark building in post-war Scotland, particularly given its location next to the famous rail bridge of 1882-90. In international terms it was the first spun-cable suspension bridge to challenge American designs of the period. It has an elegance deriving from the lightweight appearance of its slender construction components. When it was completed in 1964 it was the longest suspension bridge outside the USA and the fourth longest in the world (it has a total span of 2828m). Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect Stuart Renton Single storey roughly U-plan house comprising flat roofed entrance bay flanked by flat roofed garage to N and monopitch-roofed main block to S, around courtyard. 1964 single storey extension to E, 1974 2-storey extension in angle behind garage. White painted brick and varnished timber weatherboarding. Leaded roof.

Clapperfield is one of the earliest examples of a Scottish house based on moderinist principles. Its long and low design, and the contrast between white machined brick and boarded timber give a strong horizontal emphasis.

The innovative use of space and light is a particular feature and is most notable through the use of the open plan layout, an early example of this use of space, and the large glazed panels and full height and clerestory windows. The overhanging eaves and extensive glazing of the S elevation allows for low lying sun to penetrate deep into the house in the winter, whilst the projecting eaves give shade from the higher summer sun. Such design features are intrinsic to Renton's design philosophy for the house, which was his own home.

An important aspect of the design of the house from the outset was that Renton intended that the house could evolve and it has been extended twice. Each extension is designed to have its own character, but to be in keeping with the original design of the house through the use of the same materials. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Since then, the David Hume Tower has become one of the city's landmarks and is a distinctive feature on the skyline. The architecture is of a very high standard of design and execution and the materials, especially in the tower, are of exceptional quality.

BLOCK A: The David Hume Tower provides a vertical feature and circulation hub for the faculty group. Extensive use of high quality material.

BLOCK B: The Lecture Block, built at the same time as the tower, is a respectful partner and integral to the original composition. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Building Number Address Listing Category and date built and date listed Mayfield Road, University of Edinburgh Kings Buildings, Hudson Beare Lecture Theatre, including hard 25 landscaping and retaining boundary walls B 1961 14.12.09

Architect Robert Gardner-Medwin.

A fine and early example of Brutalist architecture in Scotland surviving in near its original condition, contemporary with other Brutalist lecture theatres such as the Architectural School Cambridge and a wave of Brutalist campus architecture across North America. The lecture theatre is a good example of form and function being illustrated by the use of materials.

The structural elements of the building such as the exposed ribbed beams illustrate the internal structure and sculptural engineering qualities. Different elements of the building are subtly emphasised by use of different materials, such as finely textured shuttered concrete for the structural ribs and diagonal timber cladding for the infill panels.

Architect Morris and Steedman

Morris and Steedman have been praised for their house designs as they pay close attention to spatial relationships, to the site, the sun and neighbouring houses with great results. Nos. 65 and 67 are only one example of the integrity of their designs.

Stepped pair of identical 2-storey flat-roofed villas, built on joint site, which slopes to north; No 67, built by Robert Steedman for himself, on lower ground level to north. Square on plan, with single storey wings extending to south, containing stores/cellars at ground, and carrying balconies/'terraces' over. Brick, breezeblock, and concrete finished with white painted cement render; plywood, with aluminium angle edging to roof. Original interior scheme survives at No 65, with fitted cupboards, flooring, wall and ceiling boarding, all redwood. Large sliding wood- panelled screens subdivide large living area at 1st floor.

Architect Basil Spence, Glover and Ferguson

Group of boldly designed residential and commercial blocks combining geometric forms with traditional references and materials, prominently situated on adjacent sites on the north side of Canongate with further block to Brown's Close. All three blocks characterised by an informal arrangement of monopitch roofs, harled and rubble facings, variety of horizontal and vertical windows, slightly projecting segmental-arched canopies to ground floor and cubic concrete balconies to side and rear elevations.

Basil Spence's Canongate development is an important example of Scottish Post-War housing occupying a critical and historically sensitive location on the Canongate. The three relatively externally unaltered blocks (comprising 30 dwellings with shops and a public house to ground floor) share the same unified themes, employed in a variety of ways to achieve a sense of rhythm and movement across the length of the site. The Canongate Flats utilise contemporary modernist approaches and are part contextual (attempting to harmonise with their older neighbours) and part confrontational (striving to be regarded on their own terms).

Sir Basil Spence was one of Scotland's most accomplished and prolific 20th century architects. Some of his most renowned works include Coventry Cathedral and the British Embassy in Rome. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect Michael Laird

Single storey music school with taller auditorium with hyperbolic paraboloid roof. Cream ashlar, some rear walls rendered.

The double-curved roof of the auditorium can be seen as an interpretation of the concrete shell structures developed during the previous decade mainly by Felix Candela and used extensively for spanning large spaces such as stadia and exhibition buildings, notable examples are the Palazetto dello Sport by Annibale Vitellozzi and Pier Luigi Nervi (1956-7) for the Rome Olympics and the TWA terminal, JFK airport, New York by Eero Saarinnen and Partners (1961-2).

2-storey rectangular-plan modern geometric house. Lime-washed cement-rendered concrete block wall at ground; timber fascia, clear glazing and asbestos panels to upper floor.

One of a number of highly original and pioneering designs for individual houses produced by the firm of Morris and Steedman, from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. The elevated 1st floor is largely glazed to take advantage of the spectacular views. Conventional planning is inverted, with bedrooms and bathroom on the ground floor, and open plan kitchen, dinning and living rooms above. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect Robert Hurd and Partners

4-storey and attic, 6-bay tenement with central wall-head gable. Squared and snecked rubble with ashalr dressings.

A prominently situated 20th century free version of an 18th century tenement whose rear elevation forms a major component of the north side of Chessel´s Court. It is an important example of the work of Robert Hurd and Partners and a pivotal building in the regeneration work in the Canongate during the 1960s. Its symmetrical streetfacing elevation adds considerable height and massing to this section of the Canongate. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Building Number Address Listing Category and date built and date listed 12 East London Street, British Telecom, Waverley Telephone Exchange including boundary walls and 31 ancillary building. B 1964 23.11.2007

Architect R Saddler

Tall 3-storey, 14-bay, rectangular-plan, Modernist telephone exchange with advanced 2-storey, 12-bay, pilastered section to principal elevation.

The Waverley Telephone exchange is a fine, geometrically designed Modernist building, with strong compartmentalised facades, and a significant example of 1960’s public architecture in Edinburgh. The building demonstrates the forthright ideals of planning and post-war modern architecture at the time. It makes a strong contribution to the immediate streetscape with it’s striking geometry whilst blending well into the overall street scene, with the neighbouring tenement block and Catholic Apostolic Church at the end of the street.

The tiled panel over the former main entrance was made by Malkin-Johnson Tiles, some tiles dating from the earlier Malkin Tile Co. and which can be attributed to the designer Ken Clark MBE. Ken Clark was one of London’s most versatile craft potters at the time and was known for collaborating with architects on bespoke designed panels. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect Sir William Kininmonth of Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth & Paul

Outstanding near-windowless, square-plan flat-roofed church with semicircular entrance and open bell tower, formerly with moat. A striking, innovative and unique later 20th century church design. Its enclosed form and sunken nave reportedly inspired by the ‘conventicle’ church and the hillside hollows used by the covenanters in the 17th century. The limited space available on the site made such planning a welcomecontrast to the pitched roofs of the surrounding domestic properties. The 1954 bell is inscribed ‘May it peal in the air, and call men to prayer’. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall and Partners

4-storey and basement, rectangular plan, Modernist purpose-built retail store premises.

This purpose-built store for the multiples retailer British Homes Stores was designed as the first flagship store of the chain in Scotland and presents bespoke 1960’s modern design for the latest development in retailing. Much thought has been given to the integration of the entire plan (including the rooftop) and interiors and the sensitivity of the materials of exterior as the building was meant to be viewed not only as integral component of the existing streetscape but also from many vantage points in the city centre, including Edinburgh Castle.

The Edinburgh store is one of the first of the proposed ‘panel buildings’ planned as part of the comprehensive redevelopment of Princes Street, originating in the Abercrombie plan of 1949. No detailed plans for the redevelopment of the shopping thoroughfare existed in 1966 and the design of the BHS store could therefore be considered the forerunner of subsequent post-war insertions into the long stretch of shops, offices and hotels. (7 buildings were constructed as part of the Princes Street Panel, only 1 other is listed - the Edinburgh New Club by Alan Reiach, Eric Hall and Partners, 1966). Along with its attention to detail and the additional design of the roofscape, the BHS building is one of the best examples of the panel formula. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect Peter Foggo

10-bay, square-plan Modernist office block with central courtyard. Trabeated construction; concrete walls punctuated with large, square, recessed tinted sheet glazing; flat roof with fascia board on exposed overhanging I-beams; horizontal clerestory glazing under deep overhanging eaves.

Scotstoun House is a major example of the work of 1960s architect Peter Foggo, a founding member of Ove Arup for whom the office was built. Ove Arup have particularly strong links to the area, having worked on both the Forth Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge.

The trabeated style and design of the building coupled with its bold expression of structure and materials make strong reference to the fact that it was designed for a prominent national engineering firm. The plan form and single storey horizontal design is sensitive to the open landscaped grounds in which it sits; the subtle grading of the ground immediately around the building ensures that it blends well into the site.

Scotstoun House is strongly influenced by Mies van der Rohe’s post war office buildings in its horizontal composition, visual order and logical construction: clarity and ordered structure being signatures of Foggo´s work. The innovative application of the precast concrete elements is significant as Foggo and ARUP are known to have been developing this technique at the time. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect Sir Basil Spence, Glover and Ferguson

This library is a major work of Sir Basil Spence, Glover and Ferguson and is one of the key Scottish buildings of the mid-1960s. It was the practice´s largest building in Edinburgh at the time and received a RIBA award in 1968 and a Civic Trust Commendation in 1969. John Hardie Glover claimed a functionalist agenda and user/designer collaboration generated the design, with the local authority´s height restriction and the curtilage of the site dictating the massing. However, aesthetics were clearly very important. Thus the mannerisms, such as the horizontal members projecting through the portico and the fascia, which, although containing electric strip lights, is mainly to balance the proportion but also does much to block out natural light on the 1st floor. Similarly, there is no functional need for balconies as sun-screens on every elevation. The architects´ interest in the sensual properties of the materials, which are of exceptionally high quality, both externally and internally, can be clearly seen.

Basil Spence´s University development plan of 1955 was generated around the pivotal hub of the Library site, after it was chosen as the quietest location within the central development area. Spence received the commission for the Library around this time, although work did not commence for a decade.

Architect Alexander Esme Gordon

Single and 2-storey, roughly L-plan, Functionalist house. Built by the Edinburgh architect for his own use, as `a functional domestic environment, relying on works of art and the garden for decoration and contemplation’. One of the few remaining works of Alexander Esme Gordon RSA RIBA FRIAS (1910-1993) and one only two houses built by the architect, whose work was mainly ecclesiastical and commercial. Interpenetration of interior and exterior spaces is a key feature. The Japanese-influenced garden was landscaped and planted with the advice of Dr Harold Fletcher, then Director of the Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens.

A major example of a relatively unaltered, late Modernist private dwelling, and a major example of its building type as most listed buildings of this period are represented by works designed on a larger scale, such as public, commercial or multiple occupancy buildings.

Architect Alan Reiach, Eric Hall & Partners

5-storey and basement club with shops at ground below 1st floor walkway, and 7-storey accommodation tower to rear. In-situ reinforced concrete, with plate glass and Rubislaw granite facings to front, brick and concrete panels to sides and rear.

In 1958 the Princes Street Panel, taking heed of suggestions going back to the 1930s, instigated a policy of introducing 1st floor walkways to all new buildings on Princes Street, with the ultimate intention of creating a continuous 2nd street. The New Club is the finest building incorporating this feature, perfectly illustrated by its slightly later continuation to the east. Reiach’s building replaces that of William Burn, 1834, with later matching extension by David Bryce, 1859. It is very carefully composed, a typical feature being the definition of the beginning of the club by the cantilever at 2nd floor. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect George Leslie for Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth and Paul

A very fine and early example of a modern commercial development in an urban Edinburgh context. It is a more obviously contemporary response to the site (an awkward L-plan) than Basil Spence’s Scottish Widows building conceived a few years earlier which it faces across the corner of the Square. It is a sophisticated composition whose brutalism has been broken up by floating planes of glass, and then tempered by polished ashlar cladding, the latter also used by Spence.

Structural Engineers: L R Creasy and J W Walley, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers: A D McDougall and T Dowie.

420 ft long greenhouse on sloping site with unattached wing connecting with 1854 Palm House.

The innovative design of the greenhouse was largely due to the Curator of the garden, Dr E.E. Kemp, who insisted that the supporting structure was to be kept entirely on the outside of the greenhouse, thereby allowing the maximum amount of light in, and creating a totally unimpeded interior space. The exposed basement at the centre allows tall trees to be grown.

Multi-denominational crematorium and service block flanked by chapels. The spirit of Le Corbusier is reflected in this work by Spence, and there is a stylistic debt to Le Corbusier’s Ronchamp in the theatrical use of wall-planes and shafted light. The use of deflected light and colour is comparable with Coventry Cathedral. Extensive landscaped grounds around crematorium maintained as public garden. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect John Richards of Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall and Partners,

2-Stage with upper stage recessed, rectangular-plan swimming pool and training centre in linear modern style.

Built for the Commonwealth Games which were held in Edinburgh in 1970 at a total cost of $1.5 million. The structure, which had to be completed as quickly as possible, was designed to facilitate maximum offsite prefabrication and was finished within 2 years. Constructed on a sloping site, the building is at its lowest scale on the 2 road frontages. The sloping site also assisted the separation of ‘dry’ and ‘wet’ accommodation. Innovative planning greatly reduced the normal problems of heat-loss, noise, condensation, and glare. Careful landscaping was designed to blend with the grounds of Pollock halls of residence behind (the halls were the Commonwealth Village). The strong, simple lines of the building serve to emphasise, rather than challenge, the dramatic hillsides behind. The Pool received a Structural Steel Design Award in 1970, an RIBA award in 1971, and a Civic Trust Award in 1972. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh

Architect Sir Basil Spence, Glover & Ferguson

Landscape architect: Dame Sylvia Crowe

Office building in modern Expressionist style comprising series of interlocking hexagonal prisms varying in height from 1 to 4 storeys. Reinforced concrete construction.

A major achievement of international status for Sir Basil Spence, Glover and Ferguson, its importance acknowledged in the professional press and recognised in 1977 when the building received the RIBA Award for Scotland. This building is an expressionistic response to Salisbury Crags married to a Functionalist programme. Geological analogies in the allusions to geometric structure of crystals inform plan, structural grid and massing. careful use of high quality materials, concealed car park, and extensive planting and landscaping, for which the practice brought in Dame Sylvia Crowe, the leading landscape architect of the period.

The building stands partly in a pool, on the west and south sides, designed to reflect the elevations. This device was used in some of Spence´s keynote buildings, most notably at the University of Sussex and the British Embassy in Rome. The reception area and stairs are also enlivened by a play on the reflective qualities of water and mirrored surfaces. Post 1945 Listed Buildings in Edinburgh
