Extremely sad times to see this happen to another high profile Scottish practice, hats off to everything they all achieved together over the years!

Classy Glasgow architectural outfit, work for a rival but took pride in showing people their buildings when touring the city.
Gordon Murray would be a stellar signing for remaining practices.

Pretty poor show that news stories get pulled for random reasons, simply because unpopular views are expressed.

Not surprise at all it was pulled, although there are clearly a lot of people hurt by this, the level of abuse and vitriol was too much. It would not do the new practice any good.
