ScotlandsFest: An Architectural Omnishambles or a Mad God’s Dream? Making Sense of Scotland’s Architecture

Luath Press / Roger Emmerson • Professional company

60 minutes•Hall
What do a country’s buildings say about a nation? Dour, exuberant, unruly, impenetrable, you decide. Eclectic, subversive telling of Scotland’s story through its architecture. Hear about the house with a flat-pack sideboard 5000 years before IKEA's. Or the building designed to be ‘tarnished’ when brand-new. These stories about buildings in Scotland are personal, practical, political and philosophical. They're critical, occasionally humorous, sometimes sad and often surprising. Showing the big and small pictures of what it means to live in the biggest small country in the world.
