Comprehensive overview of the work of Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Edited by Jackie Cooper, with an introduction by Barbara Bernard. "This beautifully illustrated survey aims to bring full recognition to Mackintosh's architectural achievement, with special attention to his outstanding gifts as a draughtsman. Arranged chronologically in order to demonstrate his best 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 photographs, many of them contemporary, each entry includes information in clients, dates of design and execution, materials used, and references to primarily source material. With over 150 illustrations, this study should prove valuable as a reference to architects and students, while providing a stimulating visual survey of one of the most imaginative turn of the century architects." -- from interior flap.
