"The Cloisters" (actually an "undercroft") are below Bute Hall in Glasgow University. Constructed by George Gilbert Scott they were built in Gothic style in the 1870s.
His son Oldrid built the cloisters above which is the grand Bute Hall (used for examinations and graduation ceremonies), and the buildings' Gothic bell tower.
The architectural style of which these buildings are prime examples, can be described as High Victorian secular Gothic. It doesn't seem to be written anywhere, but from a picture of the cloisters one sees typically Gothic features: cylindrical columns, Corinthianesque capitals carrying pointed arches to support the high vaulting.
===========================================================
Αρχιτεκτονικά η Γλασκώβη ονομάζεται και Σικάγο της Ευρώπης. Αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι πολεοδομικώς το κέντρο της πόλης έχει μεγάλες λεωφόρους σε διάταξη δικτύου (παράλληλους και κάθετους δρόμους), ενώ και τα κτίρια της έχουν χαρακτήρα αμερικάνικης αρχιτεκτονικής με επιβλητικές και βαριές όψεις, σκοτεινού χρώματος.
Ο επισκέπτης στην πόλη αξίζει να επισκευτεί το κεντρικό κτίριο του πανεπιστημίου της Γλασκώβης, το δημαρχείο μπροστά στην κεντρική πλατεία της πόλης, το κτήριο Macintosh στο Glasgow School of Art, τον κεντρικό καθεδρικό ναό, όπως επίσης και το καινούργιο Science Museum με το περίεργο ελλειπτικό του σχήμα
Το πανεπιστήμιο της πόλης χρονολογείται από το 1884.
