Glebe Street and Auchenshoogle, the Scottishness of Scottish architecture

Edinburgh architect and author Roger Emmerson looks at the Scottish roots and expressions of Scottish architecture in a talk that draws on on two recent publications by him, 'Land of Stone: A Journey through Modern Architecture in Scotland' and 'Scotland in 100 Buildings'.

Edinburgh-born architect Roger Emmerson studied architecture under Sir Robert Matthew at the University of Edinburgh and under Professor Isi Metzstein at the Glasgow School of Art, graduating from there in 1982. He has worked in London, Newcastle upon Tyne and, mostly, Edinburgh, running his own practice, ARCHImedia, from 1987 to 1999 while teaching architectural design at Edinburgh College of Art when he was also visiting lecturer at universities in Venice, Lisbon, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Berkeley.

Since 2000 he has worked extensively in the fields of architectural conservation, housing, education and the leisure industries throughout the UK, retiring from architectural practice, although not architecture.
