Agit-Correspondence
Alan Dunlop article for RIBAJ oct 2006 criticises Malcolm Fraser and AD+S, eg. "A+DS: What We're About, penned by the deputy chair, Malcolm Fraser, sets out his vision in paragraph after paragraph of grunts, tics and nasal whirls." and "it is difficult to be objective about AD+S as it now has almost every high-profile architect in Scotland on board. All in the tent, pissing out and eager to give every architect outside a kicking - but ignoring the big issues, like PPP or out-of-town shopping centres"

..Provident?
The realities of the commercial marketplace more often than not control architecture: the 'for let' signs are still up at the Scottish Provident and the street level chipboard protection has been joined by growing green stains.
