Illustration by Andrew Cadey

Robinson College was designed by the acclaimed Glasgow-based architectural practice Gillespie, Kidd & Coia(GK&C), with lead architects Isi Metzstein and Andy MacMillan. Constructed between 1977 and 1980, the college was awarded Grade II listed status* for its exceptional late-modernist megastructure.

The entrance from Grange Road to Robinson College presents a striking, monumental facade dominated by a massive, asymmetrical archway of dark red handmade bricks. This cavernous portal acts as a dramatic transitional void, deeply recessed to draw the eye inward while maintaining a formidable, fortress-like presence on the streetscape. The strict geometry of the brickwork is punctuated by small, rhythmically placed windows and sharp angular overhangs, exemplifying British Modern Brutalism. Its textured, monolithic surfaces create intense highlights and deep shadows under changing light, emphasising the building's heavy, sculptural mass.

Limited first edition print run of 75
