Topshop, London


WOW, have you seen the RIBA collaborations with retailers along here in London's west end yet?  We've been to see them all and this year they really are quite spectacular.  We will of course show you each one this week in more detail just in case you cant get there yourself and so we began with the now iconic Topshop store at Oxford Circus with their incredible colour wheel installation by the Architects Neon.  The wheel itself is moveable (although not by the passing footfall) and really does work so incredibly well, don't you think?  It does remind us of a potentially deleted and sugar coated scene from the film Hellraiser which makes it slightly more sinister, however, it is s refreshing to see these collaborations happening and produced so beautifully.
