Anderston Centre, Brutalist skyscraper in Anderston, Glasgow, United Kingdom
The Anderston Centre reaches 19 floors high and features three residential towers connected by elevated walkways and commercial spaces at ground level.
Richard Seifert designed this mixed-use complex as part of Glasgow's urban renewal program, leading to its completion and opening in 1973.
The three tower blocks received names from historic Clyde steamers: SS St Columba, SS Dalriada, and SS Davaar, maintaining connection with local maritime heritage.
After the closure of its bus terminal in 1993, the complex underwent renovation, including the addition of blue LED lighting and new office developments.
The Scottish Ensemble performed a concert celebrating modernist architecture at the Anderston Centre in September 2014, highlighting its architectural significance.
