The building is far more than “a load of bricks and mortar”. It’s an architecturally significant building and moreover, it’s a world renowned flagship educational establishment in the art and design sphere. A lot more than just a building went up in flames here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot more than just a building went up in flames here. 1. It’s the People in the building who pass on knowledge about art, not the building. 2. I place no value on art. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Spent many a Fri/Sat night in the Art School sinking diesels, puffing on a doobie and watching underground UK Hip Hop acts. RIP The Glasgow School of Art my old friend. The art achool venue is untouched. Maybe have a delay while street is closed for work but venue will continue fine. The GSA union still looks fine but the building they were refurbishing looks like it’s fucked beyond repair. They were already selling the ABC weren’t they? Can’t wait for some exciting new luxury student apartments right in the heart of the city! See above. O2 have unlimited pockets to potentially rebuild but unsure of they lease or own the abc and if willing to shell out to finance a huge rebuild. Gutting either way. This. The amount of grieving on social media as if someone had died is unbelievable. I can understand former/current students feeling some sense of utter loss but the c***s typing "Currently crying" on social media need a fucking shake. Eta few weeks back I worked with a fella who also was the H&S guy at the Art School, hired off the back of the last fire. Feel bad for him over next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkthebigclub Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Shirley the building was just a realisation of CRM's design therefore his ideas should survive in the original plans? He was, after all, an architect/designer not a builder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefybake Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) I remember when the Gaumont Cinema in Sauchiehall St got burnt out in 1972. Insurance job as I recall. I shared a top floor flat in Southpark Avenue, in Kelvinbridge with 5 other students. Didn't know what was on fire at the time, but it certainly lit up the night sky. Only found out recently that Mackintosh's home for many years was just up the street from us. I can't really understand how the School of Art has gone up so quickly, and so completely.
