Alexander "Greek" Thomson (9 April 1817 – 22 March 1875) was an eminent Scottish architect and architectural theorist who was a pioneer in sustainable building. Although his work was published in the architectural press of his day, it was little appreciated outside Glasgow during his lifetime. It has only been since the 1950s and 1960s that his critical reputation has revived—not least of all in connection with his probable influence on Frank Lloyd Wright.

  • Alexander "Greek" Thomson (9 de abril de 1817 - 22 de marzo de 1875) fue un eminente arquitecto escocés y teórico de la arquitectura, que en alguna de sus propuestas anticipó algunas cuestiones de la arquitectura sostenible. Aunque su trabajo fue publicado en la prensa arquitectónica de su tiempo, fue poco apreciado fuera de la ciudad de Glasgow durante su vida. Solamente desde las décadas de 1950 y1960 ha recuperado algo de su reputación, no menos importante que su probable influencia sobre Frank Lloyd Wright.​ El crítico Henry-Russell Hitchcock ha dicho sobre él: (es)
  • Alexander Thomson (9 aprile 1817 – 22 marzo 1875) è stato un architetto scozzese. È noto anche come Alexander “Greek” Thomson per il suo stile neogreco, influenzato dall'opera del tedesco Karl Friedrich Schinkel.Operò soprattutto a Glasgow dove, dopo la metà dell'Ottocento, realizzò le sue opere più significative.Ad esempio, la Caledonia Road Free Church (1856) e la St Vincent Street Church (1859) rappresentano originali composizioni derivate dall'architettura greca e caratterizzate da un vasto repertorio eclettico riconducibile persino al neoegizio.
