Cooper Gibson-Blog 2 (post 1) Charles Rennie Mackintosh

The Glasgow School of Art is what primarily Charles was made an international presence from. Work began on this building in 1897 and was finished in 1909. In this building you can see his influence and what some could consider the start of modernism. The school is considered one of the leaders in design education as well as one of the cities most iconic landmarks. Unfortunately the majority of the building was destroyed in a fire in 2018. Overall I find this building extremely interesting, the design looked like something that would have been made in the 2000’s but to learn it was done in 1909 was surprising.
