Glasgow School of Art, The Reid Building, Glasgow, United Kingdom. Architect: Steven Holl, 2014. Street view from below with Mac

---

The Reid Building is in complementary contrast to Charles Rennie Mackintosh's 1909 Glasgow School of Art - forging a symbiotic relation in which each structure heightens the integral qualities of the other.
