About this project
The focus of this study is a building by the Scottish architect Robert Adam (1728-1792). The building is the Airthrey Castle near Stirling in Scotland, built between 1790 and 1794 and forming part of Stirling University Campus.

What can be derived from the project?
This project touches on a number of topics that may be of interest for life-long learning. Coming at the end the eighteenth century, **

Airthrey Castle as designed was an architypal Adam country house in the mature Castle Style. Unfortunately the client cut Adam out of the building phase, and so the building was never supervised by him, and elements were Poetic and powerful statement.

What should we keep, what should we save?
