Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) holds a special place in the history of architecture and design. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, he is best known as the architect of the Glasgow School of Art, the Willow Team Rooms and Hill House ? all masterpieces of visual symbolism, historic reference, poetic intensity and pure geometry. One of Mackintosh?s fundamental beliefs was that art, architecture, and the crafts were one creative whole. His buildings are inseparable from what they contain, every element, however minute, is considered in relation to the whole. The result is a unique vocabulary of design and decoration that can only be described as ?Mackintosh.?
