With its towering vertical slab and grid of narrow windows, it rises from the city like a bold concrete monolith. Built in the 1960s and perched high in the skyline, it’s a powerful piece of Scottish Brutalism, defined by clarity, weight, and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"750\" data-end=\"1046\"\u003eI wanted this model to feel as direct as the building itself. The textures had to be strong, the proportions precise. It’s not a complicated form, but that’s the point. Shrinking it down meant being exacting about texture and rhythm, until the model held the same steady energy as the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1048\" data-end=\"1108\"\u003eA cast of one of Glasgow’s most commanding modern landmarks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1282\" data-start=\"1072\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1084\" data-start=\"1072\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1087\" data-start=\"1084\"\u003e• Solid cast concrete, individually hand-poured\u003cbr\u003e• 8\u003cspan\u003ecm high, 6cm wide, 4cm deep (approx)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1141\" data-start=\"1138\"\u003e• Laser-etched cork base with building name\u003cbr data-end=\"1187\" data-start=\"1184\"\u003e• Comes gift-boxed for the perfect concrete gift\u003cbr data-end=\"1238\" data-start=\"1235\"\u003e• Designed, modelled, and finished in the UK\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1282\" data-start=\"1072\"\u003eMade for those who passed it daily, studied behind its narrow windows, or simply love Glasgow’s architectural defiance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1466\"\u003eThis model captures a building that stands against the grain, confident, minimal, unforgettable.

Built in 1964 and later merged into the City of Glasgow College, the building’s slender, 14-storey tower and rigid window grid exemplify Brutalist ideals of honesty and strength. Sitting beside the M8, it remains one of the most distinctive and recognisable silhouettes in the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU ORDERS \u003c\/strong\u003eprocessed through our Etsy Store\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/uk\/listing\/790871636\/glasgow-college-of-building-printing\" title=\"Glasgow College - miniature concrete model\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete.
