Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (9 November 1880-8 February 1960) was an English architect, the son of George Gilbert Scott Junior and grandson of George Gilbert Scott, both also noted Swarovski architects, as was his uncle, John Oldrid Scott.

He was educated at Beaumont College.

Some curio cabinet, collectors cabinet and display showcase has a flamboyant shape. But most of the time they are beautiful and very useful when it comes to display little nice items.

He is perhaps best known for his prize-winning design of 1903 for the new Anglican cathedral in Liverpool. Although consecrated in 1924, Liverpool Cathedral was not completed until the 1980s.

Other designs of Scott's include:

restoration of cloisters at Chester Cathedral (1911-1913)

Memorial Court at Clare College, Cambridge (1923-1934)

the Battersea Power Station, London (1927; famous for being on the sleeve of Pink Floyd's Animals)

William Booth Memorial Training College, Camberwell, south London (1932)

University Library, West Road, Cambridge (1934)

the new Waterloo Bridge (1939), London

Bankside Power Station, London (1947) (now the Tate Modern art gallery)

restoration of the war-damaged Guildhall, City of London (1954)

He was also involved in rebuilding the Palace of Westminster after damage done during World War II and was the designer of the famous British red telephone box (1936).
