What do you think of the building?
Ms Tweedie said: “For me, I just love the way it looks – the symmetry, the geometric shapes and the simple materials used."The concrete legs and structures on the roof are reminiscent of Le Corbusier architecture and I think it’s a really unique building in Glasgow.”Prof Dunlop emphasised that the Met Tower follows principles of the earlier work of Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier, was known as a pioneer of modern architecture.
Prof Dunlop added: “The other thing people really don’t recognise as much when they look at that building, they think it's like a rectangular slab but in fact it’s not, it’s a V on either side. Its rundown state and the pink wrap covering its south-facing vitrolite windows is expected to soon be a thing of the past.has previously approved plans to convert the building into a 260-room hotel alongside office and retail space under Osborne and Co.
However, last year the building was purchased by Bruntwood SciTech with plans to convert it into a science and technology hub.
