That the Parliament recognises that 2 July 2018 marks the 90th anniversary of the death of Sir John James Burnet, renowned Scottish Edwardian architect and one of the most influential forces in the British Modern design school of the 20th century; understands that, after being educated in Glasgow and training for two years in the architectural offices of his father, John Burnet, John James Burnet attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and learned from the architectural masters of Europe; notes that in 1878 Burnet won the competition to build the Fine Art Institute in Glasgow, his first truly independent work, which marked his progression to other major works, including the Edward VII Galleries at the British Museum in London, the Athenaeum and Alhambra theatres in Glasgow, RW Forsyth's department store in Edinburgh and Unilever House in London; believes that the style of architecture developed by Burnet, termed "Burnet Baroque", was influential in the work of other notable Scottish architects such as Thomas Smith Tait, who went on to become a partner in Burnet’s firm and is celebrated today as the designer of St. Andrew's House in Edinburgh and the pylons for the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and hopes that Sir John James Burnet is celebrated for years to come as part of Scotland’s world-renowned architectural legacy.
