Choreographing the liturgy

This is a study of a process of architectural analysis on Gillespie, Kidd & Coia (1927–1987), an architectural practice often famed for their original approach, especially for their longstanding client, the Catholic Archdiocese of Glasgow. It is primarily concerned with the results of their approach over many years; of the effects or trends apparent in their work as an oeuvre, rather than with their initial architectural intentions; and builds on the work of other scholars by discussing the firm's work within the context of the twentieth century's rather fluid liturgical landscape. An alternative method is suggested for reading their ecclesiastical architecture, based not only on difference within their work, but also on its interconnections
