Scottish Government<\/a> taking place to progress this.\n<\/p>\n\n \u201cShould it become necessary, the society is prepared to convene the formation of an independent special purpose vehicle to deliver the project, after which it would return to being a purely advisory body.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe society supports the GSA\u2019s stated goal of establishing a broad coalition of support, including statutory and governmental stakeholders, community interest groups, heritage and cultural institutions, experts and potential donors.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cAs an independent organisation dedicated to the preservation of Mackintosh\u2019s heritage, the society should play an active role in forming that coalition.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cOnce a credible model is agreed, the special purpose vehicle should be created with a constitutional responsibility to reconstruct the building.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe GSA has indicated that it is making progress toward this goal, but the society offers to lead the process should an independent party be viewed as preferable.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The society said the final use of the reconstructed building \u201cmust enable people to visit the building and engage with Mackintosh\u2019s work\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n Its report adds: \u201cThe building was intended as a place for artistic production, and for over a century it inspired students and those in the creative industries.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cFuture use should therefore include creative and cultural learning, so that those benefits are afforded to future generations.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cTuition or exhibitions by the GSA may be part of the final use, but we do not believe that the building should be returned to the GSA.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe believe that a goal of the special purpose vehicle is also to create a plan for the future care and protection of this building as a significant cultural asset.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe society would support a final use that elevates Scotland\u2019s culture and tourism offer, drawing on the depth of national collections, our dynamic art and design scene, and considerable expertise in curation and visitor experience.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n A spokesperson for the art school said: \u201cWe welcome the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society\u2019s continued engagement on the future of the Mackintosh Building and its shared ambition to see the building rebuilt.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe society remains an important stakeholder as we continue our discussions with potential funders and partners.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The charity has recommended the creation of a new company to take forward the project after GSA chiefs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":810843,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-810842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=810842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/810842\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/810843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=810842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=810842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=810842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
