Product Description
Product Description
Charles Rennie Mackintosh began designing the Glasgow School of Art building in 1897. He was only 29 and a junior assistant at the partnership of Honeyman and Keppie which had beaten 11 other firms in winning the commission. Despite his relative inexperience Mackintosh was entrusted with the project and produced a design which was both striking and original. The building combines the heavy masses of stone of Scottish traditional, baronial architecture with art nouveau motifs in the detailing and contemporary materials and techniques such as large, braced windows. The interior designs were the product of close collaboration with Margaret Macdonald. This particular model depicts the West Library Tower which is part of the main school and is startlingly modern despite being designed almost 100 years ago. The tower was part of a second phase of the project which was completed in 1909. In his design Charles Rennie Mackintosh captures Scotland's ancient past as well as predicting forms of the future. The Glasgow School of Art is a celebrated landmark building of international importance, far ahead of its time and it had a tangible influence on the development of modern architecture. The tower contains the lecture theatre below and the double-floored library above. It overlooks Glasgow's famous Sauchiehall Street. The building shows many characteristics of the Art Nouveau style, one that spread throughout Europe and influenced many American architects This is one of a series of fine Architectural models made by world-renowned artist, Timothy Richards. These models are made with plaster and other traditional construction materials including lead, acid-etched brass, glass, copper and gold leaf. Each model is individually hand-made in Timothy's studio and workshop in Bath in England.
