The ‘Grand Plan’: Robert Matthew and the Triumph of Conservation in Scotland

The ‘Grand Plan’: Robert Matthew and the Triumph of Conservation in Scotland This paper argues that (Sir) Robert Matthew (1906–1975) was not only, as is already well known, the leading figure of post-war modern architecture in Scotland, but also a strategic driving force in the victory of conservation, around 1970 – a victory that was strongly associated, in the minds of some of its champions, with the rejection of Modernism. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Architectural Heritage Edinburgh University Press

Abstract

This paper argues that (Sir) Robert Matthew (1906–1975) was not only, as is already well known, the leading figure of post-war modern architecture in Scotland, but also a strategic driving force in the victory of conservation, around 1970 – a victory that was strongly associated, in the minds of some of its champions, with the rejection of Modernism.
