Description

On June 15, 2018, Mackintosh’s Glasgow School of Art was destroyed by an inferno that lit up the city.
More than 150 firefighters were deployed, with crews resorting to pumping water from the River Clyde. So severe was the damage that a Scottish Fire and Rescue Service investigation was unable to establish how the fire started.

These three watercolours, presented as a triptych, are intended to serve as a reminder of just how ferocious the 2018 fire was and how much of a loss Mackintosh’s masterwork was for Glasgow, Scotland and the world, when it was ravaged by flames for the second time in four years.

The triptych was shortlisted ( 1 0f 3 ) as the best drawing of the 2024 World Architecture Festival and exhibited in the Sir John Soane Museum and the Royal Academy
