Fire-damaged Glasgow School of Art restoration deemed unaffordable

The Glasgow School of Art has announced it cannot afford to restore its iconic Mackintosh building, which was severely damaged by fires in 2014 and 2018. The institution cites soaring costs and insufficient funding as the primary reasons. This decision marks a significant loss for the architectural and cultural heritage community, as the building was a masterpiece of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
