The first phase of Glasgow Central Station was designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson and the extension was designed by architect James Miller and engineer Donald Mathieson.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was the most famed of Glasgow architects. This website will give you some good information.

Mackintosh's work was in the Art and Crafts or Art Nouveau styles, but it was so distinctive that it was often referred to as the Glasgow style. His designs influenced the Art Nouveau movement in Vienna that was known as the Secessionist style.
