This work brings architecture into the mainstream debate about Scottish cultural identity, analyzing the ways in which contemporary, market-led globalization has fragmented and debased the Scottish urban environment, creating the Clone City - the product of uncontrolled, mass-produced urbanization. The book provides a step-by-step exploration of the core issues behind this debate, providing a generalist manifesto for contemporary architecture in Scotland. The authors show how, with a radically different vision, architecture can actively help to build a new Scottish identity and democracy, t just in a few symbolic national monuments but across the whole urban environment. Broad in scope, it is t written specifically for architectural professionals, but is equally directed to the informed general reader.
