GSA Select Architecture Greats for Degree HonourAndy MacMillan and Isi Metzstein, formerly of architecture practice Gillespie Kidd and Coia, are to be awarded honorary degrees conferred by the University of Glasgow on behalf of The Glasgow School of Art.
Andy MacMillan and Isi Metzstein have been chosen by The Glasgow School of Art to receive honorary degrees this year for their impact on Scottish architectural culture, their considerable academic involvement at The Glasgow School of Art and the revival of interest in their work following the exhibition Gillespie Kidd and Coia: Architecture 1956 - 1987 at The Lighthouse, Scotland's centre for Architecture and Design.
Professor Seona Reid, Director of The Glasgow School of Art, said: "I am really delighted to announce Andy MacMillan and Isi Metzstein as recipients of honorary degrees conferred by the University of Glasgow on behalf of The Glasgow School of Art.
"I cannot think of any architects living in Scotland today who have had more influence on both architectural design and architectural education than Andy and Isi.
They brought to post war Britain a fresh, new architectural language, establishing Gillespie Kidd and Coia as one of the 20th century's leading architectural practices, as witnessed at the recent exhibition at the Lighthouse."
