Some Examples of Sculpture and Mural Work
The Savoy Centre - Sauchiehall St. Glasgow -
Structural concrete. c 1974. Client Rank Property Developments. London. Architect: Gavin Paterson & Sons. Glasgow. A great deal of insitu concrete relief sculpture was carried out in this building as well as cement render relief and areas of murals in synthetic resins. Carried out in c. 1972. Little of it is now visible since the shopping centre passed into new ownership and was revamped. However all of the structural concrete was apparently covered up with other cladding and should still be there.
Brandon St. Motherwell .
High level wall to raised amenity level. Size approx. 9 ft high and 300 ft long. Architect: Hugh Martin & Partners. This was done in precast concrete using polystyrene moulds. The piercings in each panel were part of the design, at the request of the structural engineers, to reduce weight. The sharpness of the detail in this technique is remarkable considering the delicacy of the mould material.

Wall opposite entrance.
Architect: Richard Seiffert & Partners. 1967
