Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928), Scottish architect and water-colourist, was one of the most influential designers working at the turn of the century. This beautifully illustrated survey aims to bring full recognition to Mackintosh's architectural achievement, with special attention to his outstanding gifts as a draughts-man.
Arranged chronologically in order to demonstrate his stylistic evolution, the material deals comprehensively with his designs for buildings including his best known work, the Glasgow School of Art and his designs for interiors and alterations, such as the most fashionable of Glasgow tea rooms. The final section comprises an extensive selection of Mackintosh's unexecuted designs and competition entries, many of which show the true extent of his ability when unrestricted by clients and their budgets. Fully illustrated wherever possible with Mackintosh's original architectural drawings and with photo-graphs, many of them contemporary, each entry includes information on clients, dates of design and execution, materials used, and references to primary source material.
