The Mackintosh House

[@ericandpamshackel6911]

My wife and I have been fortunate enough to have visited Hill House several times, and also the newly built House for an Art Lover, but had not heard of this house, so regrettably have not managed to see it. Even more regrettably, without my late wife, the state of the world now and advancing years the chances of a visit now are remote.. Thank you for a beautifully evocative film: The next best thing to being there.

Thank God there were sensible people in the 70s who understood the genius of this remarkable couple !! Today we can still enjoy their wonderfull creations , so timeless .

When something beautiful is broken and lost, it can be rebuilt to be even more special. Because it carries the love of the people who have understood it, and who worked to save it.

I love this house more than all the palaces I've visited around the world. It is absolutely exquisite.

What a labor of love to reconstruct the Mackintosh House so completely and accurately! Thank you for the background and the video tour.

I will never forget my visits to the Mackintoh House at the Hunterian Art Gallery. I hope I can go back again in a near future.

Thanks for this program. So interesting. I love Mackintosh's work, which I had only seen in books. Well presented documentary.

I've visited the House, and several of his architectures, Tea Rooms (you forget time! Full Scottish breakfast highly recommended) and Museum in 2019 were undoubtedly masterpieces of modern designs and concepts. We can still appreciate that Mr and Mrs Mackintosh and his clients enjoyed as if only yesterday. Glasgow is a lucky place to have his architecture and great, cultured city to visit. Library of Glasgow School of Art had fire damage I wondered it is going to be restored to former glory? I hope!

Thankyou, the film is an evocative combination of people, place and time that makes me want to visit.

Beautiful and atmospheric film which tells a really interesting story.

[@magicknight13]

Thank you so much! Wow, such a beautiful style. I would love to visit someday. Eternally grateful to my modern architecture teacher who taught us about the arts and crafts movement and so many wonderful things

[@davidsheppard1362]

Very interesting. I love the Mackintosh style. I've been to Glasgow many times and have seen some of his work.

[@osteopathichomeopathicking6154]

The dining room and school or study area are lovely. The bedrooms were jarring and had awful colors imho. Thanks for the tour inside!

[@Bellasie1]

Great, but I still don't understand why the *original* work of art couldn't be kept untouched and the university extension *had* to be exactly where it was meaning demolition...

[@jakemoeller7850]

😱 the house was demolished 😱

[@gideonk123]

Sometimes, natural phenomena destroy things which must later be reconstructed. But why go to the effort of meticulously reconstructing something which should not have been demolished in the first place?

[@emikobcat]

Even Abu Simbel an Ancient Egyptian temple was removed then reconstructed to allow Suez Canal project. Architectures - man made things of values may be replaced by something new (and hopefully improved) and only masterpieces remain in history and survive for future generation. Besides Uni had money to preserve the house. I visited it and once inside it was remarkable and worth all the efforts and dismantle and reconstruction techniques could be good practice to learn from genius like Mackintosh and for the students of his followers alike.
