As soon as I saw Patti’s challenge, my immediate thought was of the simplicity of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s designs, and the elegance that comes from them π
I'm a Royal Navy Veteran from Scotland and love to get out and about with my wife, susantbraithwaite.com, on our Kalkhoff e-bikes. My faithful camera, Snappy, and the ever-present Lensy (lensball) are always along for the ride to capture the beauty of Scotland π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ. Join me as I share photos from our travels, how Lensy views the world & pretty much anything shiny β¨

Beautiful – simply elegant. I had never heard the name before!
Very interesting approach to the challenge Jez. I’d not heard of Macintosh but agree w Patti, reminiscent of FL Wright – a much-celebrated architect here in the US
Frank Lloyd Wright is an architectural icon here. He was brilliant and let everyone know it!!

I can see the similarities in work from the two of them; they both seem to tend toward bold, linear architecture as the grand statement. But from what I can see, where FLW’s work tends towards the geometric in detail, CRM’s work because softer with curves & more organic shapes featuring. Definately a fan of both styles.

Thanks, Leya π To me his work is so elegant because of its simplicity π
π I can understand that.
Ahh. Beautiful. Is that the Glasgow museum? I was there about 35 years ago. One of my favorite periods of design and architecture.
The shots are from House for an Art Lover, which is in Bellahouston Park: https://www.houseforanartlover.co.uk/
Thanks. I see there are many ‘Glasgow museums’ for Mackintosh. I was there around 1990, I suspect at the Kelvingrove.
Great examples in those pieces with strong vertical lines.
Thanks, John π

Interesting style, Jez. It reminds me a bit of Frank Lloyd Wright’s. I agree. The lines are simple and elegant. Glad you shared them!
Thanks, Patti π Just off to google Lloyd Wright π
