His work on arts and cultural projects in the office also provides a strong perspective into new and on-going developments within the city

Matt has produced a range of research into Glasgow’s building types, of particular note is his study on Glasgow’s tenement buildings – a visual record of the urban planning, architecture, detail design and social impact of this building type.

Matt recommends a visit to the Southside of Glasgow where you can enjoy a mix of special residential architecture (including work by Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson) alongside some key cultural institutions – Scottish Ballet, The Tramway and the Burrell Collection.
