Architectural talk tonight
There will be a talk tonight at 7.30pm at Augustine United Church on George IV Bridge as well as online delivered by Professor Richard Rodger.
The subject will be Edinburgh’s colony housing. Edinburgh and Leith colony housing represents a very distinctive, immediately recognisable built form. Or so you might think. In fact there is considerable divergence in design, in prices (rents) and in the occupants. In this talk, Richard Rodger dissects the background to colony housing, their owners, occupants, and other characteristics, to reveal a new perspective on this housing type.
