IT is a major project that will require a high level of expertise and patience.
But the architect firm that wins the contract to rebuild the partially destroyed Mackintosh Building at the Glasgow School of Art will also come under intense scrutiny as they resurrect the world famous building.
Companies based in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and Hong Kong have today been named on the short list for practices who could design the restoration of the building which was destroyed in a disastrous fire last May.
The five-strong shortlist comprises Avanti Architects, John McAslan + Partners, LDN Architects LLP, PagePark Architects and Purcell, and their designs will all be examined in extreme detail as they resurrect Mackintosh's masterpiece.
Avanti is based in London, and its portfolio includes heritage work such as the project to bring back into use Alfred Waterhouse's 1887 Victoria Building at Liverpool University and the restoration of the Art Deco Midland Hotel in Morecambe.
Avanti is currently working with Scottish arts charity NVA on its St Peter's Seminary, Cardross project, which will transform the Grade A listed modern ruin into a cultural and education centre.
John McAslan is a Scottish architect, originally from Dunoon, and his company John McAslan + Partners is based in London, Manchester and Edinburgh.
It was involved in the restoration of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's 78 Derngate in Northampton.
The practice also led the restoration of Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff's Grade I listed De La Warr Pavilion in East Sussex and the March en Fer in Haiti.
One of the McAslan's most recent projects is the development of London's King's Cross Station.

Former U.S. president Bill Clinton will make an appearance at the American Institute of Architects' annual convention in mid-May, the AIA announced today. The professional organization's yearly three-day conference is one of the biggest events in the American architecture industry, with nearly 20,000 architects attending last year. President Clinton is scheduled to make a keynote address on May 14, the first day of this year's event, which will take place in Atlanta.
In the announcement heralding the event, the AIA did not specify the precise topic of President Clinton's remarks, but noted his political record of economic expansion, his post-White House work with the Clinton Foundation to improve health conditions and economies worldwide, including in Haiti, where the foundation is supporting economic growth, rebuilding, and education. The theme of this year's convention is "impact," emphasizing the role architects play in communities both local and global.
Fingers crossed that Clinton won't pull a Pharrell and drop out right before the event.
Check out Co.Design's previous coverage of AIA's annual convention here. Read more about the Clinton Foundation and one of those other Clintons from Fast Company.

Bill Clinton To Headline The 2015 AIA Convention
Many people know E Ink for providing technology that creates the text in e-readers like Amazon.com 's Kindle. Now the Taiwan-based company is moving beyond displays for authors to the world of architects.
E Ink is using the Consumer Electronics Show to launch Prism, a new application of its technology to decorate company walls, commercial exhibits, airport terminals and other spaces. Think of flat, sign-like surfaces composed of a collection of polygons or other shapes. Those shapes can individually switch on to show colors, creating shifting patterns that are a bit like a simple abstract painting.
Giovanni Mancini, the companys director of product management, compares the applications to paint. When decorating a wall the old-fashioned way, he says, people choose their colors, apply the paint and the effect remains static for a long period of time.
With Prism, the colors can be dynamic, changing at random, due to conscious programming or external stimuli. What E Ink is doing is taking pigments and controlling those pigments, Mancini says.
Digital display technology, of course, is much more dynamic. But it also consumes much more power. Prism benefits from the same advantage that makes E Ink a popular choice for e-readers: Power is only consumed when a page turnsor, in this case, when colors change on a wall.
Promoting Prism will be a different kind of task for the company. Instead of reaching out to dozens of hardware companies, E Ink will be trying to attract thousands of architects, designers and other professionals. Mancini says the response has been good so far. Theres a lot of interest, he says.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming (PRWEB) January 06, 2015
Two new villas nestle into a dramatic butte overlooking Jackson Holes Teton and Snake River Ranges. Naturally elegant and at once distinct yet all of a piece, the elite private homes designed by Ward + Blake Architects are the latest of nine residences designed by the firm for Jacksons ultra-chic Amangani Resort. Named for the Shoshone word for peaceful home, Amangani was recently ranked on Robb Reports list of the worlds top resorts and named a Travel + Leisure most romantic getaway. The Ward + Blake-designed homes are part of a collection of Aman Villas situated adjacent to Aman resorts internationally and referred to by the luxury resort group as its ultimate tier of Aman accommodation options. Dream vacation homes for their owners, the villas also provide an extraordinary level of luxury and privacy available for guest lodging.
Working within the strict parameters of the resorts architectural covenants, Ward + Blake Architects designed the villas in harmony with resort architect Ed Tuttles original aesthetic for Amangani. Tuttle envisioned that the resort would be designed to be in relationship with its surroundings, creating the hotel with a modernist purity of line, its low profile and stepped roof reflecting the surrounding topography.
"The idea is to be comfortable and sink into the views," said Tuttle, designer of Aman resorts around the world, in a Travel + Leisure article about the resort.
Ward + Blakes designs for the Aman Villas have unfolded like a life-size 3-D jigsaw puzzle over a period of more than a decade. Built within resort stipulations created by Tuttle that guide proportions, materials and composition, the homes representing nearly half of 22 total residential building sites on 54 resort acres coexist peacefully from a design standpoint with one another and the Tuttle-designed resort, while standing out as individuals. The vertical-boarded exteriors of the private residences mimic the surrounding peaks, and native grasses cover sod roofs like an extension of prairie.
The nine Ward + Blake-designed villas share the main resorts earth-hugging profile and palette of rugged natural materials. At the same time they belie their similarities to be revealed as unique, gem-like residences, each an unmistakable reflection of its owners, including the owner of the villa known as Aman 12 who describes her Amangani vacation getaway as truly awesome in the literal meaning of that word.
What I love about it is the integrity of the materials, living in a home thats made of real wood and stone and also an architecturally important home, says Aman 12s homeowner. We have unobstructed views of the valley below which is really why you live in a place like this something Ward + Blake really took advantage of with their design.
The Aman 12 homeowner also praises the indoor/functionality and privacy of her villa as well as its attunement to the resorts overall peaceful home intention. We use the outdoor spaces as much as indoors, she says. We love the hot tub on the big deck that overlooks the valley. And each of the bedrooms has its own outdoor space great for reading and relaxing. I think of each of the bedrooms as a little private serenity chamber.
According to Amanresorts, the Aman Villas take the luxury, privacy and relaxation of an Aman resort stay to an entirely different level. The Amangani vacation homes include the exquisite detailing and customized approach that Ward + Blake Architects is known for the finish work is absolutely flawless, just very subtle, beautiful details, says the Aman 12 owner. At the same time they offer access to all of the ultraluxurious services and facilities of the resort, from housekeeping and concierge to the restaurant, lounge, library, spa, ski shuttle and more.
