Scottish Architects Website and Database Design by Codex Geodata 12/08/2014 2:00 PM http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=204063 DSA Architect Biography Report (August 12, 2014, 8:59 pm) Basic Biographical Details Name: William John Brockie Wright Designation: Architect Born: 4 May 1883 Died: 24 June 1976 Bio Notes: William John Brockie Wright was born on 4 May 1883. He was articled to William Gardner Rowan from 1900 to 1905 and studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1900 to 1909, winning three prizes between 1901 and 1905. In 1906 he became an assistant to Alexander Nisbet Paterson, then still working under the firm name of Campbell Douglas & Paterson despite Campbell Douglas's retirement; and in 1908 Wright moved to James Miller's office as an assistant. In the latter year he spent six weeks studying in Europe, his earlier travels having been limited to the cathedral cities of England. He was admitted associate of the Glasgow Institute of Architects in 1911 and admitted LRIBA on 22 April 1912, proposed by John Bennie Wilson and the Glasgow Institute of Architects; he was clearly eager to progress his career as he gave his year of birth as 1881 in order to avoid waiting until the prescribed age of 30 for admittance. At that time he was still with Miller but he left shortly after to become chief assistant with Burnet & Boston: his presence in that office probably accounts for the high quality of their work at this time. He served as a Captain in the Royal Engineers during the First World War, after which, in 1921, he commenced practice on his own account in Glasgow. Wright became a Fellow of the RIAS in 1929 and was elected FRIBA on 18 April 1944, his proposers being Andrew Graham Henderson, Joseph Weekes and James Taylor. By that time his office was at 26 Blythswood Square, and he was living at 'Moorgate', 23 Whitehall Avenue, Prestwick. From c.1946 he was in partnership with James Smith Kirkwood as Wright & Kirkwood. The practice appears to have had an additional office in Greenock by 1953. Their one major building, 249 West George Street (1958) is of impressive design. Wright died on 24 June 1976. Kirkwood continued the practice under the same title thereafter.

  • Glasgow Herald Buildings
    M072 Glasgow Herald Buildings Introduction The major alterations and additions to the Buchanan Street offices of the Glasgow Herald newspaper were one of John Honeyman & Keppie's biggest jobs, and one of the outstanding commercial building projects of 1890s Glasgow. The main element (phase 3 in John Honeyman & Keppie's job book) was a large new building at the rear in Mitchell Street. The job books also record a number of smaller, self-contained schemes for fitting out individual offices, and for other alterations. Authorship: Mackintosh himself claimed responsibility for the Mitchell Street building. His handwriting is on many of the surviving drawings, at least one contemporary architectural periodical ascribed the 'individuality' of the design to him, and the architect W. S. Moyes, who later worked in Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh's office, stated the Glasgow Herald was Mackintosh's design. 1 However, it is extremely unlikely that such an important commission would have been placed entirely in his hands while he was still a young assistant, and there must have been substantial input from John Keppie, and possibly John Honeyman. Alternative addresses: 7 Mitchell Lane 60–76 Mitchell Street Cost from job book: Phase 1: £357 1s 10½d; Phase 2: £132 14s 0d; Phase 3: £64,210 13s 5d; Phase 4: £537 6s 5d; Phase 5: £5033 9s 2d; Phase 6: £3065 4s 5d; Phase 7: £107 17s 6d; Phase 8: £3971 16s 7d Status: Partly demolished, partly converted to new uses Current name: The Lighthouse Current use: Shops, offices, bar, exhibition space(2014) Listing category:

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

PICTURESQUE GLASGOW. THE anthropomorphic habit of thought manifested in the polytheism of the Greeks and the mono- theism of the early Jews has been responsible, one supposes, for the familiar expression, "the body politic." But if the capital of a country be regarded as its head, there are few large states which have answered con- sistently to the anthropomorphic image.

    The Sugar Campbells They enjoyed the first condition of an aristocracy - an unquestioned social supremacy… they had their faults, no doubt they were exclusive and intolerant, they carried things with a high hand, and altogether thought more of themselves than there was any need for. But their recognised position at least freed them from the temptation to a vulgar display of wealth and, if they had strong prejudices, and were as slow to take in new ideas as to admit outsiders to their circle, at least they had the courage of their opinions, and were outspoken, sometimes too outspoken, in expressing them1. 1 (Guthrie-Smith, J. and Mitchell, J.O., 1878) `1 The Sugar Campbells `2 The Sugar Campbells The Sugar Campbells FIGURE 1 - SUGAR BOILING WORKS IN TRINIDAD C 18302 2nd Edition Collated and Edited by Geoff Daniel (Bridgen, 1836) 2 The juice is conveyed in pipes from the mill to the boiling house .

  • Glasgow's Building Stones
    GLASGOW ROCKS COVER.pdf 1 04/08/2014 16:45 Glasgow Rocks What stones were used to build Glasgow? A geological trail round Central Glasgow Strathclyde Geoconservation Group Building Stones of Glasgow This guide to the Building Stones of Glasgow will point out some of the best examples of different types of rock which can be seen around the city centre. A brief description of the various types can be found below. As many of the businesses occupying the buildings in the city centre can be transitory, the guide uses street numbers (where possible) as well as the current name of the building to guide you through Glasgow’s building stones. The recommended route, shown in the map on the centre pages, is along pavements and starts in front of the City Chambers. Glasgow traffic can be very busy so take care when crossing roads and where possible use traffic light controlled crossings. Glasgow is a largely Victorian city and has some of the best 19th century architecture in the world, so as well as studying the building material, look up and admire the buildings as a whole. More detailed information can be found on the Strathclyde Geoconservation website at www.geologyglasgow.org.uk What are building stones?
