George Square

George Square 'wounded by ugly Queen Street Station', says renowned architect

At the age of 70, John McAslan reckons he is finally getting to grips with being an architect. “My great hero was Louis Kahn who didn’t really produce a good building until he was 60,” McAslan is telling me while walking to the nearest London Tube station. “I now feel confident that I can probably do a decent building. It’s begun to click on what I think architecture is. It’s taken about 50 years.”
