Can we build it? Clearly we can – as this round-up of prominent Scottish architects goes to show
Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928)
Architect, designer and artist, Mackintosh is today celebrated internationally as one of the most significant talents of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He spent most of his life in his birthplace, Glasgow, a city central to an understanding of his achievements. It is here that the most important of his surviving work is to be found. In architecture, Mackintosh developed his own style, including the Mackintosh Rose motif, a design which features throughout Glasgow on buildings such as the Glasgow School of Art, Willow Tearooms and the Lighthouse.
