In 1967, while I was an architecture student at the University of Washington in Seattle, my History of Architecture professor Hermann G. Pundt presented an hour-long lecture to the class on the Glasgow School of Art and the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Conversation with Mackintosh: An addition to a Scottish landmark engages the old architecture with design strategies that sometimes complement and sometimes contrast with the original building.
Building directly opposite Charles Rennie Mackintosh's famed Glasgow School of Art, as Steven Holl has done, is simultaneously a plum job and the commission from hell.
Going up against an icon, Steven Holl has released his plans for a new building that will rise directly across from the Mackintosh Building at the Glasgow School of Art.
In September, American architect Steven Holl won an international competition to design a new studio and classroom building for the Glasgow School of Art.
The Glasgow School of Art, one of Britain’s oldest and most distinguished design schools, has launched an international competition to select a team for a new studio and classroom building opposite Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s 1898 masterpiece, itself a competition winner.
