Abstract:

The Library is an academic/industry collaboration book involving 4 no. stage 4 MSA students. It is conceived as one of a number of specific research investigations into aspects of the The Glasgow School of Art Building, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. In this book, the GSA Library is researched through new drawings by the students, photographs by John Barr and invited essays from distinguished international experts. It explores the physical and spatial complexities of this well loved and extraordinary room.
