An example of Japanese Metabolist architecture in Warsaw… The Universus Building was originally planned to be a Soviet exhibition pavilion, but ended up opening in 1980 as Warsaw’s largest bookstore. It was very popular at the time, and included meeting rooms and cafés, but it closed during the political and economic changes of the early 90s, and then became an office building. It was purchased in 2015 and nearly torn down - to be replaced with an office tower - but was saved by the efforts of preservationists. It’s still a mixed use office building, with shops and restaurants. Thanks to @whitemadmagazine for the info.
Sobieskiego 100 is an 11-storey complex that was designed by Piotr Sembrat and Janusz Nowak, and completed in 1978 as housing for employees of the Soviet Embassy in Warsaw. The building was abandoned when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, and has been the subject of a lengthy dispute over land ownership.
Matthew Building at the University of Dundee was designed by architect James Paul of Baxter Clark and Paul (1969). Glass entry in the front dates from 2011.
The Gordon Aikman Theatre (originally known as the George Square Lecture Theatre) at the University of Edinburgh was designed by Robert Matthew (1970). Matthew was the first professor of architecture at the university, and established the faculty there.
