The Ca D'Oro Building on Union Street in Glasgow.

Designed by John Honeyman in a Venetian Renaissance style and built in 1972, this is one of the most striking buildings in central Glasgow.

It's also great to see a historic building not being overwhelmed by modern shop signage, so well done to Tescos, Sally Beauty and Savers Health and Beauty

The arches and windows of the fabulous Ca d'Oro building in Glasgow. Originally built as a furniture warehouse in 1872, it was designed by John Honeyman in the Venetian Renaissance style, and was inspired by the Ca d'Oro (the Golden House) in Vence.

Architectural term of the day: Spandrel.

A spandrel is triangular a space created where two arches meet. This leaves a blank space which is just crying out to be decorated, and spandrels are often filled with the most ornate features to be found on a building. This example is from the Ca d'Oro building in Glasgow.
