Professor Gordon Gibb is giving his talk to the general public on the GSA fires at the Mack

Professor Gordon Gibb, a former student and lecturer in architecture at Glasgow School of Art, shares his insight into the fires that led to the loss of “the Mack”, Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s masterwork.

Professor Gibb studied and taught in the building during a period spanning nearly fifty years. As a forensic architect, he investigated the causes of the fires.  This led him to be openly critical of the school’s management. Thereafter he and the GSA parted ways.

If you have not heard Professor Gibb talk before, or if you have, please join him at 7pm on the 2nd June 2025 in the Kelvinside Hillhead church for a fascinating insight into one of the nations worst architectural heritage losses and the story behind the story
