No first prize was awarded. The jury ruled that none of the entries fulfilled the competition's objective 'to contribute energetically to the solution of important questions confronting Modern architecture. However, the entry by Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott was awarded second prize. Mackintosh's entry, although disqualified for lacking the required number of designs, was awarded a purchase prize. The designs by Baillie Scott, Bauer and Mackintosh were published in 1902 by Koch in folios entitled 'Meister der Innenkunst'. The lithographic folios were printed by Emil Hochdanz of Stuttgart, but the edition size is not known. The Hunterian owns complete sets of the Mackintosh and Baillie Scott portfolios, and a partial Bauer portfolio.
The plan is based on a straightforward east-west corridor axis related to that for Windyhill, Kilmacolm (1900). | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | PHOTOLITHOGRAPH : HOUSE FOR AN ART LOVER : HAUS EINES KUNSTFREUNDES : COMPETITION : CRM ONLINE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
