\"Canvas,Primebuild<\/a>, an architectural firm focused on refurbishment projects around London for over 30 years, changed the way the community interacts with hoarding. Instead of the mundane temporary walls placed at construction sites, the family-run business intervened with a public artwork project printed on Dibond aluminum composite material. They call it \u2018Canvas for London\u2019 and it is an initiative to interact with the community through young artists\u2019 illustrations while turning simple hoarding into something beautiful.
\n
\nTen sheets of four-foot by eight-foot matte white Dibond paneling were used to create the installations. Artist Joshua Richardson, an illustrator based in Hackney, was commissioned to create the first series. His contribution to the hoarding display is part of a collection titled, \u201cProject Plural.\u201d Each adorable sketch of animal groupings are paired with a short poem and forgotten collective nouns. The project is intended to eventually fill a collection of children\u2019s books.
\n
\n\"Canvas,Richardson draws the whimsical creatures with the hope of raising awareness for animal conservation. Instead of shocking an audience with images of animal cruelty, Richardson chooses to celebrate animals to raise awareness. Children, adults and lovers of the English language can appreciate the colorful drawings. Aspirations to create an adult version are underway with fictional collective nouns that might include \u201ca strip tease of snakes\u201d or \u201ca band of beetles.\u201d In addition to books, Richardson envisions a digital interactive experience where fans can create their own fictional nouns and share their creations on social media.
\n
\n\u201cWe chose Dibond because of the superior quality compared to other similar products,\u201d Tom Tighe, Director at Primebuild, \u201cIt gives a matte finish, is easy to clean which is important for a construction site, and works particularly well with digital printing.\u201d
\n
\nThe Dibond is first printed with the artists\u2019 work on it and then treated with a film to make the surface and artwork more durable and longer lasting. The hoarding installers are careful to place a maximum of ten screws per panel to keep the integrity of the artwork. The project has allowed the team of architects, surveyors, builders and project managers to interact with the community like never before.
