Art Academy in Glasgow
- Emilia Margaretha
Glasgow’s prominent position among Europe’s culturally attractive cities is due in no small part to its leading art academy, and in particular, to Charles Rennie Mackintosh. His Glasgow School of Art, which was partially destroyed by fire in late May, had recently been named the best building designed by a British architect in the last 175 years. The new structure, the Seona Reid Building, is right across the street from the Mackintosh building; it bears the name of a former director and houses the design faculty.
