Building Information

Location: Preston, UK
Architect: Building Design Partnership (Keith Ingham & Charles Wilson)
Completed: 1969
Status: Grade II listed (since 2013)
Brief Overview:
Preston Bus Station is one of the largest and most distinctive Brutalist structures in the UK. Known for its dramatic curved concrete balustrades and monumental scale, it has become a symbol of post-war modern architecture and an enduring landmark of northern England.

My Risograph Prints

I often go hunting for Brutalist buildings and photograph them wherever I can get to them — car parks, bus stations, university towers, housing estates. Some of the ones in this collection have already been demolished.

 Photographing them is how I collect them; printing them is how I share them.

I think Risograph suits concrete. It's a stencil process: soy-based ink pushed through a drum one layer at a time, soaking into the paper rather than sitting on top of it in a glossy film. You get grain, texture and gorgeous matte blacks, and small variations from one print to the next that mean no two are quite identical. I think this makes it look and feel more like concrete.

Every print is produced with an independent artisan printer here in the UK, on 170gsm Munken Pure Rough Premium paper. The soy-based inks replace petroleum ones — lower in solvents, easier to recycle — and the press needs no heat to fuse them, so it draws a fraction of the power of a laser machine. This makes all of my prints affordable and eco-friendly.

Preston Bus Station Risograph Print — Entrance Facade

Preston Bus Station was supposed to be demolished. Enough people disagreed, loudly and for long enough, that it's listed instead — which makes it one of the few Brutalist buildings in Britain with a happy ending. This risograph print takes the pedestrian entrance head-on, with those famous curved balustrades stacking up the car park levels above like ribbons. It's a building that looks fast standing still. Printed A3 on heavy textured paper, black and white, the riso ink holds the shadow under each curve without turning it to mud. Northern Brutalism, and a reminder that these buildings survive when people show up for them. A3 wall art for anyone who signed the petition, waited for the 68, or simply thinks a bus station can be beautiful.
