EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ian Pollard's remarkable creation, the Post Modern Homebase DP103884. Situated at 195 Warwick Road in London's prestigious Kensington area, this architectural gem stood tall as a testament to Pollard's brief yet impactful career as an architect and developer. With a keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries, Pollard infused his Egyptianate design with wit and irony, creating a truly unique masterpiece. The fusion of post-modern elements with ancient Egyptian influences resulted in a visually striking structure that effortlessly commanded attention. Sadly, despite its undeniable charm and cultural significance, this iconic Homebase was met with an untimely demise in 2014 when it was demolished. However, thanks to Nigel Corrie's expert lensmanship, we can still marvel at its grandeur through this stunning photo print. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when architecture dared to challenge conventions and embrace unconventional styles. It serves as a poignant reminder of the ever-changing landscape of our built environment and the fleeting nature of artistic creations. Intriguingly blending post-war aesthetics with Egyptian motifs, Ian Pollard's Homebase remains etched in history as both an architectural curiosity and a symbol of creative expression. Through Nigel Corrie's lens, we can appreciate the beauty that once graced London's skyline - an enduring testament to human ingenuity captured within these frames.
