The Victorian Art School documents the history of the art school in
the nineteenth century, from its origins in South Kensington to its
proliferation through the major industrial centres of Britain.
Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Glasgow School of Art, together with
earlier examples in Manchester and Birmingham demonstrate an
unprecedented concern for the provision of plentiful light and air
amidst the pollution of the Victorian city. As theories of design
education and local governance converged, they also reveal the
struggle of the provincial city for cultural independence from the
capital. Examining innovations in the use of new technologies and
approaches in the design of these buildings, The Victorian Art
School offers a unique and explicitly environmental reading of the
Victorian city. It examines how art schools complemented civic
'Improvement' programmes, their contribution to the evolution of
art pedagogy, the tensions that arose between the provincial
schools and the capital, and the role they would play in
reimagining the relationship between art and public life in a
rapidly transforming society. The architects of these buildings
synthesised the potential of art with the perfection of the
internal environment, indelibly shaping the future cultural life of
Britain.

Resilience will be a defining quality of the twenty-first century.
As we witness the increasingly turbulent effects of climate change,
the multiple challenges of resource depletion and wage stagnation,
we know that our current ways of living are not resilient. This
volume takes resilience as a transformative concept to ask where
and what architecture might contribute. Bringing together
cross-disciplinary perspectives from architecture, urban design,
art, geography, building science and psychoanalysis, it aims to
open up multiple perspectives of research, spatial strategies and
projects that are testing how we can build local resilience in
preparation for major societal challenges, defining the position of
architecture in urban resilience discourse. Chapter 16 of this book
is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a
