CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL:

“My book arrived yesterday and I am absolutely delighted with it. I purchased it in order to really get a feel for the designs in different colours with a view to purchasing some prints. The addition of detail relating to each building, the specific architectural style and the placement of each in chronological order of construction is very illuminating and definitely a possible lead into further study.

Of the prints I think it is the fact that each building is stand alone and stripped of context, no ambient weather, no traffic, no passersby, no effects of time, no surface texture etc. that the beauty and impact of each is crystallised. There are eight buildings in the book which make up my story from early childhood through to the present day. My emotional response to these images equates to a piece of music which places me at a given time in a given place and brings with it a sense of belonging, comfort and also inspiration. As an urbanite I find artistic joy in the built environment”
