A Lighthouse in Scotland

I am thrilled to read that Scotland’s Centre for Architecture and Design has acquired a new name: the Lighthouse. The Lighthouse is the renamed, £13 million ($20 million) conversion of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's 1895 Glasgow Herald newspaper office. The centre's vision is to develop the links between design, architecture, and the creative industries, seeing these as interconnected social, educational, economic and cultural issues of concern to everyone. Since opening the centre has welcomed well over 1 million visitors.
