Modernist Scotland

150 Post-war Buildings and Places 1950-1980
A comprehensive study of the revolutionary modernist architectural movement that transformed Scotland's built environment in the decades following World War II.

This volume represents the most comprehensive study to date of the revolutionary architectural movement that transformed Scotland's built environment in the decades following World War II. Through meticulous research and stunning visual documentation, Bruce Peter examines 150 significant modernist structures that shaped Scottish cities, towns, and landscapes-from pioneering housing schemes and civic centres to innovative educational and cultural buildings.

The book reveals how architects in Scotland embraced modernist principles while responding to local contexts, materials, and social needs, creating a distinctive architectural identity that bridged international movement with regional character. Each building is presented with detailed analysis, historical context, and high-quality photography that captures both the bold vision of the era and the current state of these structures.
