Local Design<br />
Icon<br />
Charles Rennie Mackintosh is a name familiar to<br />
most, particularly in Glasgow. A design pioneer<br />
that shaped a creative movement and created an<br />
iconic style of unique and lasting impact is one of<br />
Glasgow’s local heroes.<br />
His renowned building at the Glasgow School<br />
of Art has been at the forefront of news and<br />
conversation recently due to the two tragic fires that<br />
have devastated the building and the surrounding<br />
area. It still remains to be seen what will rise<br />
from the ashes, but Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s<br />
influence can still be felt widely across the city, as<br />
well as through international design history.
