Well, let me start by saying this is a magnificent article, and most of my criticism is going to be of the "this would enhance it somewhat" type.

First of all, the article would normally be well-illustrated, but for such a sweeping article, it might be worth considering more images, and a gallery at the end, so that more of the examples discussed can be easily seen.

Now, you need not listen to any of this, but in my opinion:
 * "Glasgow school" could use at least one more picture. This can easily be done by left-aligning one. Either another of Mackintosh's, or an example of one of the people he influenced.
 * "Early modernism" could, likewise, use one or two more examples. In particular, a couple early council houses would help, to compare with the brutalist ones.
 * "Post-war brutalism" might benefit from a picture of Cumbernauld.
 * "Post-modern architecture" could really sue a few more images. I'd suggest the Causewayside house of the National Libraries of Scotland, myself, as a nice example mentioned in the article.

Two minor notes: "Render" isn't a particularly well-known term. I put a on it, so that you could link to Cement render or stucco, as appropriate for that council block. I've seen both. "post-Coia", in the last section, might need a little more clarification (as may "Mackintosh", for that matter): people may have forgotten who they are. I've wikilinked them for now.

I've made a number of small copyedits; I would suggest reviewing them, to make sure no changes in meaning occured.

Whilst one small point remains open, and some improvements are suggested, this is clearly a good article, and well on its way to FA. ✅. Adam Cuerden (talk) 19:22, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
