Philately Lately

 

The UK will be issuing new stamps on the 31st January 2023 bearing the head of our new king. It has been said that he has an opinion about architecture that is solemnly correct. Architecture is not far away from the rudiments of postage; it is an unrequited love that sends messages through the language of building. There are a multitude of expressions and successes, but to be frank (pardon the pun), the issue of this issue is to declare that there is a collection of architecture that remains innocent.

The Fine Art of Stamp Collecting

Gutter pairs and Traffic Lights are a connoisseur's choice in the collection of stamps. These highlight the architecture of Berlin in and around the area of Post Modernism in an attempt to give the paradigm a new lease of life and describe the politics surrounding the fall of the wall. It can be said the details of architecture follow philately closely; a language that refers to an architectural infra structure, while the building envelope justly speaks for itself. A letter box never goes amiss!!
