Simon Phipps Poster | Queen Margaret Union
Poster | Queen Margaret Union by Simon Phipps for The Wrong Shop.
Queen Margaret Union at the University of Glasgow, designed by Walter Underwood & Partners and completed in 1968, is photographed here by Simon Phipps.
The image focuses on the building’s concrete structure as it rises against the open sky, highlighting the contrast between its weight and its vertical form. Clean lines and strong geometry emphasise the architectural intent, revealing the building’s sculptural qualities.
Part of Phipps’ series exploring the staircase as a sculptural element, the work reflects his long-standing interest in Britain’s postwar modernist architecture. With a background in sculpture and film, his photography brings careful attention to light, material and composition, drawing out the character of often overlooked spaces.
