Glasgow School of Art: Archives & Collections

Free hand sketch showing the north elevation of Scotland Street School including some architectural descriptions, for example, "scale has been a major design factor in this building for children, windows diminish in height as they rise from the floor, and the wall has been set back to lessen the effect of three stories. Not every room in a building has the same height, each houses a different function and should be designed with that function in mind".
