Through its many years of use the building has developed a unique patina and undergone a number of alterations and additions. The recent fire and subsequent restoration raises a number of considerations concerning the integrity of the original design, the history of the building and its adaption for future use. This lecture and panel talk is an opportunity to discuss this ever present dichotomy facing the conservation and restoration of buildings in use, drawing on the unique and precious Mackintosh building as a case study.
