Alexander Thomson Scholarship 2012
About
The Glasgow Institute of Architects, as Trustees for the Alexander Thomson Scholarship, is pleased to announce the re-launch of the triennial competition established following Thomson’s death in 1875. Most famously won by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1890, the competition is open to all students of architecture and members of the profession throughout the UK whose age does not exceed 30 years on the date of entry.
The brief is for the design of a contemporary installation that breathes new life into the incomplete parlour at Holmwood House near Cathcart, using an open and unrestricted palette that might include sound, light, texture, colour and smell.
