A glimpse from inside one of the main architectural features of the new £50 million Glasgow School of Art building shows work is rapidly progressing.
The three "driven voids of light" are cylindrical structures that will allow natural light to permeate through the new building.
The concrete shafts are now clearly visible at the construction site at the Garnethill campus, which is being worked on by main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine.
The building has been designed by American architect Steven Holl in partnership with JM Architecture of Glasgow.
Work on the new Glasgow School of Art Garnethill campus building is still in phase one of the development and the building is due to open in 2013.
The project has now reached ground level, with construction of some of the lower floors of the new building almost complete.
As well as studio space, the new building will contain a lecture theatre and exhibition space.
It will face the famous Grade-A listed Charles Rennie Mackintosh-designed art school building on Renfrew Street.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
