Charles Rennie Mackintosh Sites.
Born in 1868 in the Townhead district of Glasgow. Charles Rennie Mackintosh is Glasgow's most celebrated architects of all time. Educated at the world-renowned Glasgow School of Art, he is one of the most significant and groundbreaking artists and designers to emerge from the 1890s, incorporating the Scottish Baronial style and ingeniously blending it with Art Nouveau and the simplicity of Japanese forms.

Most of his architectural collection can be found across Glasgow and its environs, each having their own distinctive charm and character. Completed in 1909, the new Glasgow School of Art in Renfrew Street - a two minute stroll from the Victorian Hotel, is arguably the crème de la crème of his stunning architectural designs. Much of the building's decorative features are fine examples of his artistic collaboration with his wife, Margaret MacDonald whom he met while studying at the old School of Art in Ingram Street, in the heart of the Glasgow.

Not only acclaimed for his stunning architectural showpieces, Charles Rennie Mackintosh was an accomplished furniture designer and painter incorporating oils and watercolours - an activity which he engaged in the latter stages of his life in the South of France. He pioneered the Modern Movement in Scotland and his works are the benchmark of the British Arts & Crafts resurgence in Scotland. Mackintosh died in London in 1928 and to this day, his work continues to give much pleasure to both architectural enthusiasts and visitors to Glasgow.
