Rosalie Menon, an architect and senior academic at the Mackintosh School of Architecture at the Glasgow School of Art, has devoted over 25 years to the integration of architectural practice, teaching, and research. Her appreciation for the urban landscape of her home city of Glasgow is evident in her previous publication, Fragments of Glasgow, and once again in her latest work, Glasgow From Above.
While her professional focus remains on academic writing, she also pursues her passion for curating historical and architectural narratives, transforming them into stylish publications designed to engage a broad audience. Rosalie will be in discussion with Alistair Leith.
