Bonjour, Simplement amoureux de la voix de François Marthouret, que j'ai apprécié dans "Palette", et que j'apprécie ici.

Loved it. I am from Glasgow and went to some art classes there. So sad the building now ?

The hens have a long climb but they get fabulous views and light as a compensation. And, going by the traditional division of the arts mentioned earlier, women’s art must be even higher than the noble male arts :)

Excellent presentation. But it fails to mention any of Macintosh's collaborators, and in saying that he "built" the school it sounds like he personally laid all the stones and glazed all the windows. A bit less Heroic Man would be appropriate, and would not in any way take away from Macintosh's achievement. I am also amazed that there is no mention of the catastrophic fire that damaged the school. Having visited the school well before the fire (or rather, the first fire), I would have liked to see how the restoration had dealt with the inevitable damage.

The narration says several times that he never set foot on site.

"in saying that he "built" the school it sounds like he personally laid all the stones and glazed all the windows." - this is a convention of speech which has been in use for a very long time - Christopher Wren 'built' St Paul's Cathedral, Gustav Eiffel 'built' the Eiffel Tower, Pericles 'built' the Parthenon. It is just one of those things.
