A group of designers from sustainable design and engineering firm Stantec have created a new map of Farringdon and South Clerkenwell. The map is for sale, with proceeds going to AKT, a charity working to help LGBTQ+ youth facing homelessness or living in hostile environments.
Created with local people and workers in mind, the hand-drawn map is an overview of historic people, places and landmarks in the area. “The more you look, the more you see and learn about Farringdon,” says Adrian Babb, Stantec’s digital design lead. “Our designers loved creating this map which you can lose yourself in, and with our office being close to the station, we wanted to create something that would give back to the area, while also providing a unique piece of art that adds fun and history to any space.
“We’ve created similar maps for our offices in other areas, such as Manchester and Birmingham. Hotels and businesses have loved featuring them on walls in their lobby areas. Hopefully, we can get the same kind of reception in Farringdon and raise some money for a good cause at the same time.”
You can now purchase the map from local shop Stuart R. Stevenson, 68 Clerkenwell Road, London, EC1M 5QA.
It is also on sale in their online shop. They are selling the map as an A1 poster size, but Stantec can print bespoke sizes as requested. The maps can be printed in a range of sizes and can be installed directly onto walls. They have printed maps 2.5m high for use as whole wall artwork in bars and offices!
If a bespoke size is required then please get in touch with Adrian Babb at Stantec – [email protected] – and he will be happy to discuss requirements.
