The Gothic revival, 1745-1845

MaCaulay, James

Blackie

A major architectural study of one of the pioneers of modernism.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh was Scotland’s greatest architect and arguably one of the world’s most admired. He had far fewer commissions than his contemporary Frank Lloyd Wright, but with a few bold and innovative structures―the Glasgow School of Art and Hill House among them―he had a profound influence on art and architecture at the turn of the twentieth century. Like Wright, Mackintosh designed in totality, down to the furniture and fabrics used in his structures, and he was influenced by the Japanese, particularly in the simplicity of his designs and themes from nature.
Hailed as a pioneer of modernism, Mackintosh was, however, perhaps truer to the Arts and Crafts movement than has been realized. With both historic photographs and modern images of Mackintosh’s major works taken by the noted architectural photographer Mark Fiennes, this is an essential and beautiful addition to the Mackintosh canon and to architectural history. 50 four-color and 120 black-and-white photographs and illustrations

Hill House is the domestic masterpiece of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's oeuvre, combining Arts and Crafts honesty with Art Nouveau decoration and the ruggedness of a seventeenth-century Scottish laird's house. At the request of his client, the publisher Walter Blackie, Mackintosh designed not only the house and all its fixtures and fittings, but also the outbuildings, the garden gates, the walls, the terraces and pergolas, which were all part of a unified aesthetic conception. The interiors and furniture are amongst the finest produced by Mackintosh, and testify to his firm command of function.

The "Architecture in Detail" series comprises books that focus on individual buildings noted for their exceptional character, innovative design or technical virtuosity. Each volume contains a text by a respected author, a sequence of colour and black-and-white photographs and a set of technical drawings and working details. One of the great works of Arts and Crafts architecture, the Glasgow School of Art is a synthesis of opposites: austere and delicate, dark and light, derivative yet innovative. While the towering outer wall seems to echo the Scottish baronial tradition and the exterior impression is one of imposing grandeur, the interior is a lively and complex set of spaces.
