A wonderfully curved 1860s blonde sandstone tenement on the corner of Wilton Street and Belmont Street in the West End of Glasgow.

For me, nice, sweeping curves are one of the major features missing from many modern buildings. I've often wondered if this is because straight-edged boxes are much easier to draw with the Computer-Aided Design software now used by many architects.

@thisismyglasgow as the chap from penguin books famously said "good design costs the same as bad design".

I suspect its more to do with the cost of building and materials. Square brick boxes will always be cheaper than beautiful curved stone buildings.

However one brings joy and is good for the soul, the other brings blandness and indifference.
