The Photography Gallery in London has three separate exhibitions, but with the connection that they are black and white series of photographs that represent different aspects of everyday life and the interests of the three photographers. David Lynch‘s exhibition shows his atmospheric series of photographs of decaying and derelict industrial buildings. Another floor is given over to photographs taken by the renowned author, William S Burroughs. A prolific photographer, taken primarily for his own private use, this is the first exhibition of his work and provides an interesting insight into the scenes of life that interested him and may well have been incorporated in his writing. Last, but not least, is an exhibition of Andy Warhol’s photographs taken between 1979 and 1987. He apparently carried his camera with him all the time and often took more than 30 shots every day, which was quite an amount in the days of film before digital cameras. Similarly this exhibition provides an insight into the everyday scenes that caught his imagination, some of which he later stitched together into artworks.

"The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don't have a soul."
(Thomas Moore)
To be an architect means having a wide range of interests - architecture, art and creativity in all its variety of forms, sustainability, science and innovation. The greatest interest is often where these different worlds overlap and collide - that is when something imaginative often occurs that pushes us all forward to another place

I hope to showcase contemporary design and innovation, including architecture, art, design, science, technology and sustainability, to those searching for architecture, design and art inspiration to create beauty. I hope you enjoy it and will contribute to it.
