Building Information

Location: Anderston, Glasgow, Scotland
Architect: Richard Seifert & Partners
Completed: 1977
Status: In use as a commercial office space

Brief Overview:
Anderston Bus Station was built as part of the wider Anderston Centre development, an ambitious mixed-use project that sought to reshape a large area of central Glasgow during the 1970s. The station's sweeping concrete canopies and expressive structural forms reflect the confidence of post-war civic architecture while providing practical shelter and circulation for thousands of passengers. Today it remains an important transport hub and a significant surviving piece of Glasgow's modernist heritage.

Making my concrete model

I love this building for its clarity. It is all rhythm and stance: long horizontal window bands, a lifted podium, then that separate tower holding everything steady. Capturing it as a model meant chasing the proportions between the main slab and the service tower, and keeping the bridge connections legible at a smaller scale. I iterated the form to make sure it still reads as Anniesland in one glance, with the same sense of height and presence.

A small cast of a Glasgow tower that still anchors the west end skyline.

Anderston Bus Station, Glasgow

The Anderston Bus Station miniature concrete model is made for Glaswegians who remember catching buses under its concrete canopies. Richard Seifert & Partners completed it in 1977 as part of the Anderston Centre, an ambitious scheme to reshape a large area of central Glasgow. Its sweeping, overhanging forms show the confidence of post-war civic building. This concrete model of Anderston Bus Station captures those canopies at 9cm, a small concrete sculpture for a desk or shelf. It's for people who've worked or lived in Anderston, collectors of Seifert's buildings across Britain, and fans of Glasgow Brutalism and Brutalist architecture. As a gift, it brings back a very particular Glasgow. Each miniature concrete building is hand-cast in solid concrete, so its marks are its own.
