		Glasgow School of Art: Glasgow 1897 to 1909, Charles Rennie Mackintosh (Broché)
		Glasgow School of Art is one of the great works of arts and crafts architecture of the turn of the century.
		Although quoting art nouveau in some of the detailing, the overall effect looks forward rather than back; indeed Nikolaus Pevsner was to single out the interior as an early example of the sort of spatial effects which were later to be central to the modern movement.

	Charles Rennie MacKintosh and the Glasgow School of Art
		The reins of power in the competition were ultimately in the hands of Francis Newberry, the Director of the School of art, and Mackintosh's former teacher and friend.
		His defined purpose was also to build the School from the interior spaces outwards, the logic of the interior plan dictating the nature of the elevations, which had a significant effect on the overall appearance of the building.
		While this mixture of influences may sound as if it would lead to a confusing jumble, the overall impression of the Glasgow School of Art is of simplicity and clarity, the holistic mass of the building being superior to the sum of the details.
