Nelson Mandela Place
This very ornate building was designed by the prolific Glasgow architect John Burnet (1814-1901). As well as the detailed decorative stone-carvings there are also several roundels with carved figures representing Science, Art, (both shown here) Building, Mining and Engineering. You can see that the figures have been covered with netting to stop birds landing on them.
