EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic No 1 Poultry building in the heart of London's City. Designed by James Stirling and Michael Wilford, this architectural masterpiece is a true testament to commercial Post-Modernism on an extraordinary scale. Despite its relatively recent construction, it was granted Grade II* listed status in 2016, a mere 22 years after its inception. At first glance, the vibrant and expressive use of color immediately captures one's attention. However, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that every aspect of this structure has been meticulously thought out and pays homage to classical architectural influences. The sheer magnitude of No 1 Poultry commands admiration as it stands tall against the cityscape from its south-eastern perspective. Its unique blend of post-war and post-modern design elements creates a harmonious fusion that is both visually striking and intellectually stimulating. Derek Kendall's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details that make this building truly exceptional. It serves as a reminder that architecture can be more than just functional; it can be an art form that evokes emotions and sparks curiosity. No 1 Poultry DP131021 is not merely another commercial entity but rather an embodiment of creativity, innovation, and respect for architectural heritage.
