Owen Hatherley , April 17th, 2021 08:57 Owen Hatherley interviews Jonathan Meades about his new book Pedro and Ricky Come Again, a massive collection of his writing from 1988 to 2021 – and on why he’s no longer making television Photo by Pablosievert. CC BY-SA 4.0 The last time I saw Jonathan Meades was in May 2018, in Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille.

The High School, a masterpiece of the Scottish Greek Revival, has long lain empty; in 2015 plans to transform it into a luxury hotel were widely condemned by heritage groups and the public, and last year the Scottish Government rejected a revised proposal. The council’s decision has been welcomed by the Royal High School Preservation Trust, which since 2015 has campaigned for the building to become a new home for St Mary’s Music School. The trust is likely to make a bid to take over the site, while the hotel developers have yet to confirm whether they will submit a further proposal. In the April 2015 issue of Apollo, Gavin Stamp discussed the significance of Hamilton’s building and lamented that it might become a hotel; an adapte ....
