Glasgow School of Art
1899-1909
Architecture
‘Glasgow School of Art’ stands as a shining example of Mackintosh’s early pluralist architecture. The building was made of stone about the Scottish Baronial tower houses which he considered incredibly modern in their use of iron and glass. Sensitive to the surrounding architecture and existing traditions Mackintosh also added his own free-style aesthetics and seamlessly merged a wide variety of influences
