The frontage doesn't evoke transport. It instead brings to mind a heart monitor as someone slips into cardiac arrest in an episode of Casualty.
It's always a tough pill to swallow when you realize a building looks less impressive from the ground than from above. It's a very deep pain of betrayal. A betrayal worth talking about for 10 minutes. I hope they demolish it and rebuild it with Limmy in mind.
I miss the old musty smelling museum!
That's ma doctors signature.
Limmy: World’s greatest living architect.
It’s not the Transport Museum, it’s the Riverside Museum. Distinct lack of riversides on display, I felt. I could only find the one they keep out back.
I know an old fella that got knocked down by a bus outside a transport museum... Ruined the tankard he had in his pocket.
Frank McCallum, or whoever he actually was...?
Should've built a massive T for Transport
And have a cafe inside the top of the T so that you can drink T in a T and tell all your friends!
looks like a decent supermarket
If Limmy were in charge it would have looked like an Ork settlement.
Needs more lava.
architecture's been taken over by technically proficient but artistically uninspired graphic design/interior design types, and they're just fuckin around in autocad at this point
the deadness of the architecture is meant to inspire a deadness in you
if you put the wheel on it's side it could be possible, nicely textured car tire outside, elevated patio dining in the middle.
Looks like a Mountain Warehouse
Before I watch can I take a guess.
While you used to be able to get up close and take a good look at all the vehicles in the old museum now they’ve stuck most of them on shelves or the roof and you’d need binoculars to actually get a proper look.
Well I couldn’t have been further off 😂
@@SparkyClarke lmao good effort tbf
Add architect to the list of things limmy's a master of: Flash, Comedy, DBD nurse... the list goes on
1-2 million visitors a year. Pure shite.
I was told it was supposed to be waves as it's the Riverside museum
I'm sick of buildings like this lmao
Scottish man invents London Eye
The thing I dislike about the building is the mad puke green interior. It doesn’t look futuristic at all inside, looks like a 70s bathroom
We used to love the old transport museum.
I was always getting shouted at for lifting my son on to the trains as of a five year old is going to damage a 500 tonne train.
Anyway, the old yin did have one exhibit you could actually get in.
The old style police 'Paddy Wagon'.
Welcome to Glasgow.
Lots of museums in Glasgow about how shit life was/is.

What if your son has been watching so much thomas that he gets the loco going? rampage man
Imagine a cartoon car-crash, accordian-style squished front. That's what this section view looks like. Always struck me as laughable.
The building was supposed to have been taken from zaha Hadid's drawer and she tried to justify it saying is signified the waves of the clyde
Maybe it's meant to be a frequency wave, radio frequencies are used a lot in the transport world to figure out if busses or trains will be late or early or if they've broken down, it's not outside the realms of possiblity.
am i the only one who prefers the side view here? especially at night with the internal lighting
Glasgow is going to be just one giant office building, literally everywhere you go the new builds all look the same. Grey and boring.
Looks like an outdoor clothing shop. Ie trespass etc
Limmy gives it praise of a certain kind, however he finds it utterly without charm
"its awriteeeee"
Lovely metal shed you got there, shame about the roof though.
Its not as shiny in reality which is disappointing.
But it's no even that. That bit's at the back. You can see it if you're on the Clyde, and none of us are. Those who come to it arrive in the car park and see the other end which is even worse. I didn't know what the other end looked like for years. Only people in Govan could see it.
the old one was deadly
It represents the Clyde. It meanders like it from above and it's a pulse from the side.
Sounds a bit wanky unrealistic.
@@gordonthomson7533 Aye? Regardless, it's what it represents mate. Have a look at the architects website.
@@esbee666 draw a squiggle. Look at it. Come up with a story. It's like the retrospective guff applied to installations.
Architects should be able to be invisible. Their buildings should speak for themselves.
This one doesn't, unfortunately a fairly consistent thing with Zaha Hadid.
@@gordonthomson7533 Jesus. I bet you're a laugh at parties, eh?!
Good skate spot tho
I miss the old one with the old fashioned street and bit of subway. New one's pish.
Looks like a melted toblerone.
It looks like a sound wave, should've been a music museum or something.
i think thats how he felt
Old people hate new stuff, that's like the oldest emotion
what about the content presentation inside? Utter shite, compared to the old Transport Museum.
It's the opposite. The top looks like average Gehry pish, the front is at least a little original, if not impressive. That plaza leading up to it though, total wasteland. They don't have landscape architects in the UK?
The transport museum is shite. The old Kelvin Hall museum was a lot better and so was the transport museum when it was in Pollokshields.
His limmy museum looked shite on rust. He has no right to talk about ugly museums
It looks like a heart rate monitor...
From above it looks like the 2012 Olympics symbol with somebody geing themsel a blowie?
Looks like a massive number 7 that's been painted with a massive paint brush to me.
Tough crowd
