Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Glasgow School of Art
By the end of the 19th century Glasgow School of Art was one of the leading art academies in Europe and its reputation in architecture and the decorative arts had reached an all time high.

Sámuel Setényi This project aims to extend the traditional Portuguese art form of patterned tiles (azulejos) by incorporating digital processes. I used various digital techniques, including procedural imagery and 3D design, to create piece that ties in with the tradition and cultural context of this art form.
