Watch out!!! Its around you!!!!

In my explorations of the Mackintosh Building I found and felt there were many human elements to it. Different levels seemed to have different personalities (just like the ID and EGO phenomenon of the human mind). The building is showing signs of wear and tear, it has responded to the challenges and chores it has been put through, such as scooping of the stairs where thousands of feet have worn them away.

It is like a wise old woman- a mother who has dedicated her life to serving and caring for her children. I am very interested and excited by this element and I have started to look into this.

Nick Grimshaw Buildings as Living Organisms Video Tape 69

"Buildings should be seen as living organisms. If they are to last at all, or to be of any use in the future, they have got to be able to grow and adapt and change and react to the changes and forces that are on them, both from the inside and the outside."

N.B. This point of view was applied to humans by Kenny Hunter in his talk. So when I heard this applied to buildings I felt more secure in my thoughts about brings the Mackintosh Building to life- whether literally or not i don't know, but I'm on the case!
