Museum of Scotland is still a great big beautiful pudding ... for me it is better deconstructed into bits. I took this photo of the rear elevation which is fantastically figurative, perverse and poetic. Would have loved for Gordon Benson to have built the nearby Cowgate Library project which would have been a more singular architecture. Nick Blair and I came third place in the Cowgate competition. Both of us straight out of university. When we were shortlisted we tried like hell to win ... all the more tough given we were up against Gordon who had been our Professor the year previous.
