My new novel, Steeple, sees Antihero Kenstibec tour the flooded, dying remains of a future London, seeking design inspiration for the colossal new tower he has been commissioned to build – the Hope Tower, a monstrous construct being erected to replace the old city.
While writing the book, I began to take pictures on my strolls about London, and think about how Kenstibec might think the city’s design, particularly in terms of its building decorations, a strange thing indeed. I’ve blogged about this in detail over at Foyles, but here, just for fun, is the full photo collection of the curious designs that draw my attention.
