Glasgow School of Art Tour

This morning, I took a tour of the Glasgow School of Art. Charles Rennie Mackintosh won a competition to design the school. He was heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau movement, and eventually developed styles associated with the Art Deco style. He worked closely with his wife Margaret MacDonald. Their styles intertwined in the use of motifs and organic forms. To me, his style seems similar to Frank Lloyd Wright, but there are a greater number of motifs and more variation of each motif. For example, the iron work roses forms by the exterior windows begin with a closed rose within the spere and gradually become more open and airy. Unfortunately, they do not allow photos to be taken inside the building.
