Khaosan Road

The Khaosan Road, Bangkok, is renowned as the stop off for travelers en route to various destinations in Thailand, explaining the vibrant and eclectic atmosphere of the place. I have never felt so bombarded with messages as I have here (see photo!). Travelers are shaded by the vast amount of signage above the buildings, all in bright neon lighting. To me, Khoasan captures the essence of Bangkok completely; hectic, loud and buzzing.

Miami Deco

Nowhere captures the beauty of the Art Deco movement better than Miami. The typical symbols of the sunshine, waves, rainbows and the colours gold, orange and green reflect the sun kissed, glamorous lifestyle that Miami is famous for. The architecture conveys Art Deco through curving structures, the windows and the signs, where the typography is in a typically Art Deco style.  

London Underground

What a confusing place! However, the London Underground map has been designed in such a simple way that it would be hard to get lost with one of these on you. The lines are all straight, and clearly colour coded, and you simply have to know your North, South, East and West!

Antoni Gaudi

I went to Barcelona in 2006, and was absolutely fascinated by the beauty of Gaudi's architecture around the city. The style is gothic, which creates a romantic air about the place, particularly at night when the city is lit up. 

La Sagrada Familia is Gaudi's most spectacular piece, which he never lived to see finished. It is very overwhelming and the design is so detailed it seems like a never ending task! Gaudi was interested in natures angles and curves, which explains why his work compliments the surroundings so beautifully.
