Happy birthday Mies!!

Neuer Henninger-Turm in #Frankfurt, Germany
There is an interesting story behind construction of this modern residential #skyscraper, which replaced the old tower, that was a high grain silo of a similar height and shape.
One of the few surviving traditional buildings in the Glasgow'a International Financial Services District just visible between the rather soulless and generic-looking modern buildings which now dominate the area. If it wasn't for survivors like this, you'd never be able to tell which city it was in.
I've yet to come to a conclusion as to whether or not I actually like them, but they're certainly better than many more recent developments, and much of the housing built in the 1960s and 1970s.

Modern tenement style buuldings on Saint Vincent Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow. Built in the 1980s or early 1990s (I'm guessing), they feature details, such as oriel windows and arched dormers, which can be found on the city's traditional tenements and townhouses without crossing the line into pastiche territory.
