David Hamilton (11 May 1768 – 5 December 1843) was a Scottish architect based in Glasgow. He has been called the "father of the profession" in Glasgow. Notable works include Hutchesons' Hall, Nelson Monument in Glasgow Green and Lennox Castle. The Royal Exchange in Queen Street is David Hamilton's best known building in Glasgow. It was completed in 1829, built around an existing mansion house dating from 1778. It now serves as the city's Gallery of Modern Art. In 1835, Hamilton came third in the competition to design the Houses of Parliament (London) and won £500. He was the only Scottish architect to win a prize for his entry. He is known to have been sculpted by both William Mossman and Patric Park.〔http://www.glasgowsculpture.com/pg_biography.php?sub=mossman_w〕 Thomas Gildard and John Thomas Rochead were trained by him.〔Dictionary of Scottish Architects: Gildard〕 == Gallery of his work == Image:Wfm goma glasgow.jpg|Façade of the Gallery of Modern Art on Queen Street, Glasgow Image:Eglinton Castle & Tournament Bridge 1884.jpg| Image:Nelson Monument Glasgow Green.JPG| Image:Nelson Monument commemorative slab.JPG| 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Hamilton (architect)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
