About this Event
Join author and cultural historian Robyne Calvert as she discusses her new book The Mack: Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School of Art with Chris Stewart PRIAS.
The book presents an up-to-date account of “The Mack,” incorporating for the first time the history of the building during the post-Mackintosh era up to the present day, including the May 2014 fire, reconstruction efforts, and the devastating fire of 2018 that destroyed most of the building. The book updates knowledge of the building gleaned from the reconstruction process, including corrections of well-rehearsed assumptions. It also addresses controversies surrounding the second fire, examining issues around fire management that have received much public scrutiny.
