A GSA student's perspective,
By Charlotte D. Bonini (Castine, Maine, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glasgow School of Art: Glasgow 1897-1909-Charles Rennie Mackintosh (Architecture in Detail) (Paperback)
I too have been a student at GSA. I think that Dr. Macaulay's interpretation of Mackintosh's work is right on. Mackintosh himself was designing during a rather industrial area. It was a time when he was designing spaces for employees performing rather menial tasks, as well as weathly homeowners. However, he approached the design process in an organic and playful manner. This book expresses the best that Mackintosh had to offer.

Most of all I feel that it is truly hurtful the way in which he described the "menial nature" of the staff which enhabit this fine establishment. Although the text itself is completly removed from the reality the pictures are sweet.
