This exquisite colouring book, a design object in its own right,
contains 45 stylish line illustrations of London's most iconic
buildings, created by influential design duo Robin Farquhar and Hannah
Dipper of People Will Always Need Plates.
These outstanding graphic illustrations, with their clean lines, are
just waiting for a touch of colour to bring them to life and make your
own. Whether you've got a spare 10 minutes on your commute to work or a
few lazy hours on a Sunday, you can paint the town red, yellow, blue, or
any other colours you want!
This fabulous collection covers a range of architectural styles, from
Sir Christopher Wren's 1675 Greenwich Royal Observatory to Richard
Rogers' 2000 Montevetro development, taking in the glorious 19th-century
Victoria and Albert Museum, 1920s modernist masterpieces such as the
Isokon Building and 1960s concrete brutalist icons like the National
Theatre. Buildings of all types are included, from art galleries to gas
holders to tower blocks. The authors have included some of the images
for which they are best known, such as those of the Trellick Tower and
the Barbican, but the book also contains a selection of new images.
Each is accompanied by succinct text that sums up why the authors love
the buildings they depict. Includes a foreword by design expert Max
Fraser.
