context_page_description: The Glasgow School of Art is a higher education art school offering undergraduate degrees; post-graduate awards and PhDs in architecture, fine art and design based in Glasgow, Scotland.
  The school is housed in a number of buildings in the centre of Glasgow, upon Garnethill, an area first developed by William Harley of Blythswood Hill in the early 1800s. The most famous of its buildings was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in phases between 1896–1909. The eponymous Mackintosh Building soon became one of the city's iconic landmarks and stood for over 100 years. The building was severely damaged by fire in May 2014 and destroyed by a second fire in June 2018, with only the burnt-out shell remaining.
  In 2019, GSA was placed 8th in the 2019 QS World Rankings for Art and Design, and the school maintained its 8th place ranking in 2020.
