Made of three interconnected waveforms, its shape appears to change dramatically depending on your point of view.

Built in 1897, this building was designed by James Salmon Junior, while the sculptures were created by Francis Derwent Wood. I've never been to sure why, but the figures become increasingly disrobed as you move from left to right across the building.

Designed by Wylie, Wright, and Wylie, it was built between 1928 and 1931. I particularly like the metalwork covering much of the facade.

The hair is especially well done. It's above a side door to the old Glasgow Savings Bank building on New City Road, which was designed by Niel C. Duff and was built in 1910.

This one is in the Hyndland area of Glasgow. For those who don't know, a wally close is the communal entrance to a tenement which is lined with tiles, and often beautifully crafted ones.
