The "Architecture in Detail" series comprises books that focus on individual buildings noted for their exceptional character, innovative design or technical virtuosity. Each volume contains a text by a respected author, a sequence of colour and black-and-white photographs and a set of technical drawings and working details. One of the great works of Arts and Crafts architecture, the Glasgow School of Art is a synthesis of opposites: austere and delicate, dark and light, derivative yet innovative. While the towering outer wall seems to echo the Scottish baronial tradition and the exterior impression is one of imposing grandeur, the interior is a lively and complex set of spaces.

McKean, professor of architecture at the University of Brighton, and photographer Colin Baxter provide an in-depth overview of the Scottish architect, painter, furniture designer, and graphic artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928). Scarcely dead before art critics began calling him a pioneer of modernism, the United Kingdom's master of art nouveau, and the last great Victorian architect, Mackintosh's reputation has withstood the test of time.

Hill House
Charles Rennie Mackintosh: Hill House, Upper Colquhoun Street, Helensburgh, north-west of Glasgow
The Hill House was designed for publisher Walter Blackie. After the Glasgow Art School, The Hill House is one of Rennie Mackintosh's best known works. The facades are typically strong with the few apertures articulated with characteristic grids, and subtle non-orthogonal elements such as the chimney. Mackintosh's style is often seen as not only related to fin-de-siecle Art Nouveau but to the burgeoning Modern Architecture movement. This Mackintosh work typically works with the Scottish traditional architecture, often referred to as the Scots Baronial, the rustic architecture of towers and crow steps.
The Hill House is run by the National Trust for Scotland and is close to Loch Lomond.

The House for an Art Lover resulted from a competition design by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. House for an Art Lover was built on the former site of Ibrox Hill House in 1989-96 with the assistance of Glasgow City Council. Graham Roxburgh and architect Professor Andy Macmillan were instrumental in creating Rennie Mackintosh's House.
