The Glasgow School of Art The Glasgow School of Art: Charles Rennie Mackintosh (Architecture in Detail Series) James Macaulay (Editor) List Price: £9.95 Our Price: £6.97 Phaidon Press, 2002, 58pp, paperback Usually dispatched within 24 hours ISBN: 0714842214 The "Architecture in Detail" series comprises books that focus on individual buildings noted for their exceptional character, innovative design or technical virtuosity. Each volume contains a text by a respected author, a sequence of colour and black-and-white photographs and a set of technical drawings and working details. One of the great works of Arts and Crafts architecture, the Glasgow School of Art is a synthesis of opposites: austere and delicate, dark and light, derivative yet innovative. While the towering outer wall seems to echo the Scottish baronial tradition and the exterior impression is one of imposing grandeur, the interior is a lively and complex set of spaces.
