Is this a real life or a futuristic movie set?

This is Areál Palma in Bratislava – a former industrial complex with a history stretching back to 1920, when production of vegetable oils and fats began here.

The site was once part of Bratislava’s industrial belt, and its huge concrete structures still give the place that slightly surreal, dystopian feeling. The iconic silo alone is over 50 metres high and consists of 18 monolithic concrete storage chambers.

After production ended, Palma became a neglected brownfield. Now the area is being transformed into a new mixed-use neighbourhood, with plans to preserve and reuse parts of its industrial heritage.

Honestly, I’m just happy places like this still exist long enough for us to appreciate them.

One of Zlín’s most striking buildings – the Tomáš Baťa Memorial.

Designed by František Lýdie Gahura in 1933, the memorial was created in memory of Tomáš Baťa and is considered one of the defining works of Zlín’s functionalist architecture.

After decades of changes, the building was recently reconstructed to bring it back closer to its original form – restoring its clean geometry, glass façade and carefully designed relationship with light.

A beautiful example of how restoration can bring an architectural idea back to life.

Is this the most controversial hotel in Slovakia?

Perched above Štrbské Pleso, the Panorama Hotel is one of those buildings you simply cannot ignore. Its futuristic, almost spaceship-like form has made it one of the most distinctive pieces of architecture in the High Tatras – and also a building that has sparked plenty of debate about architecture in this protected landscape.

But there’s a sad part to the story. The building has undergone a rather insensitive reconstruction, and much of what made the original interior/exterior special has been lost. So if you’re visiting purely for the architecture – my advice is to admire it from the outside. Going inside might leave you seriously disappointed.

The exterior is still an incredible piece of Slovak architecture. The interior… not so much.

Pocket architecture – Golden Lane Estate.

This month’s little collection of architecture-inspired images, all created for September’s Formwork Print Club.

Available to buy now on my website – collect your favourite piece of Golden Lane and keep a little bit of London architecture in your pocket.

Golden Lane Estate was designed by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon and developed between 1952 and 1962, with its carefully planned courtyards, gardens and distinctive blocks paving the way for their later work at the Barbican.

From reality to illustration.

This month’s Formwork Print Club celebrates Golden Lane Estate – from wandering around the real thing, photographing all the little details, to turning it into my own illustration.

One brutalist estate, a ridiculous amount of details, and one print made from it all.

Formwork Print Club – celebrating London’s architecture, one building at a time.

Another little book of pictures from the National Theatre 📖

I love making these little books after visiting a building – just collecting the things I noticed along the way, without trying to make everything look too perfect. The bits of concrete, strange corners, textures, shadows, tiny details and views that made me stop and take a picture.

These photos became one of the starting points for the last month’s Formwork Print Club. It feels nice to keep a little record of what caught my eye before turning those observations into something completely new. 🏛️
