James Coutts Junior (1890–1942/3)
Entry 40
Aberdeen, Scotland
Coutts graduated with a BSc in Engineering from Glasgow University.
He may have still been a student when he entered the federal capital
competition.
By 1937 he was an associate member of the Institution of Civil Engineers
and a member of the Institution of Municipal and County Engineers. He
was also elected that year to the Town Planning Institute, stating that
he
was Town Planning Surveyor to the County Council of Renfrew. He was a
member of the Executive Committee of the Scottish Branch until at least
1939.
Coutts’ plan is an exercise in circular geometry. Two very large
circles joined by axes are prominent features.
