Our visit to the 2018 Glasgow School of Art Degree Show occurred before the recent fire, indeed this post was all planned to go, then came news of the fire … and it seemed appropriate to wait.

But not to archive it away altogether, for tragic and destructive as the fire unquestionably was, an art/design/architecture school is its staff and students and ideas and visions and understanding of the world. Not the bricks and mortar that surround it.

Even if those bricks and mortar were arranged by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

And so with reflections on what has been lost, but our eyes still firmly on the future…..
