RIBA Wide-Angle View Architecture as social space in the Manplan series 1969-70
It has been a delight to work with exhibition designers Drinkall Dean to design the graphics for RIBA’s current exhibition on the Manplan series, a ground-breaking exploration of architecture’s impact on society.
This exhibition displays over 70 original photographs, some that have never been seen before. The graphic design makes reference to the bold and innovative magazine layouts.
The Wide-Angle View photography exhibition looks at Manplan and presents photography from renowned professionals such as Ian Berry, Patrick Ward and Tony Ray-Jones at RIBA’s Architecture Gallery in central London which is free and open to all.
Lindisfarne Priory
A delight to work on this beautiful English Heritage project with lead Designers Drinkall Dean and the dedicated English Heritage team. I collaborated with Drinkall Dean to design the 2D concept and then produced all artwork for the Museum and exterior Priory site. A pleasure from start to finish and so exciting to spend time on Holy Island.
Clifford's Tower
With Drinkall Dean we were appointed by English Heritage to add interpretation to Hugh Broughton Architects architectural intervention that allowed visitors to get up close to the upper level of the Tower.
Our aim was to provide a scheme that was as engaging on street level as it was inside the tower and on roof level.
Graphic Interpretation began with a large bronze timeline set into the pavement, and with tactile bronze information panels and a map. Once inside the tower, graphic panels with imbedded bronze icons told of the towers rich history. On the roof graphic panels helped visitors to get the most out of one of the best views in York.
Gladstone's Land
Gladstone’s Land, located on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, has a trading and lodging history of over 500 years.
Pyrah Design worked alongside architectural designers Drinkall Dean, who were commissioned by the National Trust for Scotland to create a luxury ice cream and coffee parlour and to redevelop four apartments into luxury accommodation.
Interpretation is embedded throughout the building, the stories of Gladstone’s Land and its inhabitants revealing themselves as visitors use the commercial spaces. Pyrah Design designed the interpretation graphics as well as creating a new brand identity for the site.
The design approach is contemporary, reflecting the buildings continued use as a place of trade, but with a view to the past and a focus on craftsmanship and materials
