This is today's update from Traditional Architecture listserv from architects who have contacts on site. From: Traditional Architecture Listserv List <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Roy Lewis <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2014 10:50 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Glasgow School of Art is on Fire I am told by a friend with Glaswegian connections that a fair amount of furniture from the library was saved, and several examples of carved decor and other craftwork were hacked off and saved as exempla for rebuilding. No word on the archival materials. Several of the best water colors have been on loan and may not have been in the building. Digitization of small works was being done on premises. Larger works were being digitized elsewhere, but no word on what was where.

Look about halfway down - you can see the roof over the library is gone. I can't imagine it survived. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2637430/Firefighters-tackle-major-blaze-listed-building-leading-European-art-school-started-projector-exploded.html Gregory Walker AIA, LEED AP LinkedIn HOUSER WALKER ARCHITECTURE Lucy Minogue Rowland, MS, MLS Professor Emerita Director, Louis T.
