Mack Memories: Remembering the Mackintosh Building at The Glasgow School of Art

Mack Memories gathers recollections of people connected to the Mackintosh Building at the Glasgow School of Art: staff, alumni, neighbours, visitors, and others who knew the building firsthand. The Mack can be rebuilt. The design survives, the evidence survives. What's at risk of being lost is the lived experience of the building, carried only in memory. This project exists to capture the most ephemeral aspect of The Mack: its embodied history. Or simply, why people loved it so much. This isn't an official project of The Glasgow School of Art or any organisation, and it isn't about debating what's befallen the building and why. It's simply an effort to gather what the Mack meant to the people who knew it. This podcast is hosted by Dr Robyne Calvert , author of ' The Mack: Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School of Art ' (Yale University Press, 2024), building on conversations she had while researching and writing that book. Music is nearly 100 other performers by jeye.

By day, she's a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow's Adam Smith Business School, teaching Strategy and Risk Management. Her research asks what non-human actors - objects, spaces, systems - contribute to strategic outcomes, and her PhD used the Glasgow School of Art and the Mackintosh Building as a case study to illustrate how theories of material agency can further understanding of strategy...
