Rubble Club for architects 'traumatised' by demolitions

A support group has been set up to help architects through the "trauma" of seeing one of their creations demolished in their own lifetime.

The Rubble Club aims to draw attention to the number of buildings it believes are being torn down unnecessarily.



Among the first architects to sign up were Reiach and Hall, the designers of the canopy over the Forth Road Bridge toll booths.

It was torn down less than a year later when the tolls were scrapped.

Full story here.
