Mackintosh Architecture: Context, Making and Meaning

苏格兰建筑师和设计师查尔斯·雷尼·麦金托什（Charles Rennie Mackintosh, 1868-1928）是当今国际公认的具有世界重要性的建筑师。他占据了维多利亚时代和现代运动之间的一个关键时期，这是格拉斯哥成为英国维多利亚时代最重要的城市之一的重要时期。他的作品启发了后代人，包括Aldo van Eyck、Hans Hollein、Arata Isosaki和Enric Miralles。然而，值得注意的是，尽管在过去的50年里有大量的文献致力于他的职业生涯，但他作为建筑师的核心活动却明显缺乏研究。《麦金托什建筑》将首次对麦金托什的建筑成就进行全面、深入的评价，这是基于档案研究和建筑调查与分析的创新和权威结合。这个为期三年九个月的项目将由格拉斯哥大学的亨特里安博物馆和艺术画廊与苏格兰历史博物馆和苏格兰古代历史古迹皇家委员会合作进行。该项目将对麦金托什建筑的背景、重要性和贡献进行彻底的分析。它将产生Mackintosh的建筑项目和他的建筑设计的第一个详细目录，连同来自实践工作手册和其他档案来源的转录。它将系统地查明和研究更广泛的客户、承包商和商人网络，并确定他们的贡献。由苏格兰历史博物馆和皇家委员会进行的实地调查将确定建筑方法、材料和使用的技术，并确认随后的变化历史。研究数据将通过一个推广良好、插图丰富、免费获取的在线数据库提供，结果将在一系列专家在线论文和由Hunterian在项目结束时组织的展览和会议中进行分析。产出的形式将确保知识传递给最广泛的受众，并为艺术史学家、策展人、保护人员和遗产工作者、更广泛的教育部门和公众提供宝贵的援助。这项研究还将带来其他好处。它将为进一步评价麦金托什在他的英国和国际同行群体的背景下提供有价值的基础，并支持未来的建筑和社会史研究，包括格拉斯哥更广泛的建筑史，英国主要维多利亚时代城市的出现，以及维多利亚时代建筑贸易的历史。它还将支持记录和适当管理文档化的和当前未发布的构建工作。研究过程将为未来评估单个建筑师的作品提供一种方法。该网站将提供一个模型来展示单个建筑师的作品。大多数当前可用的与体系结构相关的在线资源要么提供集合列表、图片站点，要么提供简短的插图文章。没有权威的个位数网站能够提供全面、深入、详实的建筑数据、设计、照片、档案材料和分析。

The Scottish architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) is today recognised internationally as an architect of world-wide importance. He occupied a pivotal point between the Victorian age and the Modern Movement, at an important period in the emergence of Glasgow as one of Britain's most important Victorian cities. His work has been an inspiration for subsequent generations including Aldo van Eyck, Hans Hollein, Arata Isosaki and Enric Miralles. Yet, remarkably, despite the extensive literature devoted to his career over the past 50 years, his core activity as an architect is conspicuously under-researched. 'Mackintosh Architecture' will provide for the first time a comprehensive, in-depth evaluation of his achievements as an architect based on an innovative and authoritative combination of archival research and building survey and analysis. The three-year nine-month project will be undertaken by the University of Glasgow's Hunterian Museum & Art Gallery in partnership with Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. The project will deliver a thorough analysis of the context, importance and contribution of Mackintosh's architecture.It will generate the first detailed catalogues raisonnés of Mackintosh's architectural projects and his architectural designs, together with transcriptions from the practice job-books and other archival sources. It will systematically identify and research the wider networks of clients, contractors and tradesmen and define their contributions. Physical surveys by Historic Scotland and the Royal Commission will identify construction methods, materials, and technology used, and confirm the history of subsequent change. The research data will be made available via a well-promoted, richly-illustrated, free-access, online database with the results analysed in a series of specialist, on-line essays and an exhibition and conference organised by the Hunterian at the conclusion of the project. The format of the outputs will ensure knowledge transfer to the broadest audience and serve as an invaluable aid to art historians, curators, conservators and heritage workers, the wider education sector and the general public.The research will deliver other benefits. It will provide a valuable foundation for further evaluation of Mackintosh in the context of his British and international peer group, and support future studies in architectural and social history, including Glasgow's wider architectural history, the emergence of major Victorian cities in Britain, and the history of Victorian building trades. It will also support the recording and appropriate management of documented and currently unpublished built work. The research process will provide a methodology for future evaluations of the oeuvre of individual architects. The website will provide a model for the presentation of an individual architect's output. The majority of currently-available on-line architecture-related resources provide either collection listings, picture sites, or brief illustrated essays. No authoritative single-figure sites exist delivering comparable comprehensive, in-depth, well-illustrated building data, designs, photographs, archival material and analysis.
