Ian Ritchie is recognized as one of the UK’s most visionary architects, renowned for his innovative approach that synthesises multiple creative disciplines to articulate the essence of his architectural projects. A poet and artist as well as an architect, Ritchie distills his concepts and design principles into verse, exploring the interplay between the complexities of architectural commissions and the art of composition.
In Life, Ritchie’s poems are complemented by his monotypes, vivid expressions of his passion for colour and artistic expression. The collection traces Ritchie’s personal journey, his evolution from youth to mentor, navigating themes of love, loss, and his passion for art and architecture. Yet, above all, the works invite readers to share in his unique perspective on the natural and built environment, transcending conventional boundaries to contemplate the realms of architecture and the spirit.
