Dismantling of the Mack has started

Glasgow School of Art’s Mackintosh building will be rebuilt, its director has said, as work starts to dismantle parts of the fire-ravaged structure.

Experts ruled that sections of the famous building had to be demolished on safety grounds after flames tore through the Charles Rennie Mackintoshdesigned art school on the night of 15 June.

Engineers have said the brick-by-brick dismantling of damaged parts of the Mackintosh building will take at least eight weeks. They are starting with the highest levels.
