Distanced in time and space by a little over one hundred years and the width of a street, the creative architectural practices of Steven Holl Architects and Charles Rennie Mackintosh engage on the slope of Garnethill. The original Glasgow School of Art building evidently has a new neighbour, the ‘Reid’ Building.
-Mark Baines
On display from now until 23 March at the Macintosh Museum, ’Drawing on Holl‘ aims to illuminate the creation of the Reid Building. Curated by Mark Baines, the exhibition explores the architectural dialogue between old and new. The exhibition features several 3-D models and numerous watercolour drawings by Steven Holl Architects, which document the design process, all arranged chronologically from the initial competition entry in 2009.
