Basic Biographical Details Name: | Alasdair Cameron Sutherland | Designation: | | Born: | 16 January 1911 | Died: | 2002 | Bio Notes: | Alasdair Cameron Sutherland was born on 16 January 1911 and studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1928. He attended five years' day classes, spending the summer months from 1929 to 1932 in the office of Thomas Harold Hughes. He passed the Professional Practice exam in December the latter year, was awarded a BSc Hons in Architect with Honours in Design in March 1933, and obtained his diploma in June 1934. He was admitted ARIBA on 3 December that year, his proposers being Hughes, William James Smith and Thomas Craigie Marwick. His nomination papers indicate that he had also worked in the office of T P Marwick & Son of Edinburgh in 1933-34; whether this was the full year's office experience referred to in the same papers or only covered the summer months is unclear. The papers give a private address of 29 Ashton Road, Glasgow and a business address of 55 West Regent Street, suggesting that he was working for James Austen Laird a that time. He was also an Associate of the Glasgow Institute of Architects.
In 1937 he formed a brief partnership with T Warnett Kennedy but this must have been dissolved, if it was ever formalised by 1938, when Kennedy was taken into partnership by Jack Coia. In 1939 Sutherland exhibited a design for a house at Bearsden for R Y Pagan Esq at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts. His office address at that time was 420 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow.
His death was registered in August 2002. | Private and Business AddressesThe following private or business addresses are associated with this : | | Address | Type | Date from | Date to | Notes | | 29, Ashton Road, Glasgow, Scotland | Private | 1934 * | | | | 55, West Regent Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Business | 1934 * | | Probably in the office of James Austen Laird | | 420, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, Scotland | Private/business(?) | 1939 * | | |
