Scope and content
A paper copy of a poster (in a rolled state) of an exhibition of work by four local students architects from the Mackintosh School of Architecture. The poster has title of "Inclined to design", held at Greenock, The Arts Guild Campbell Street, from 9th to 20th September (mentioned with no year). It designed by: Alan Fullarton, Brain Hendry, Christopher Platt, and Richard Robb. The exhibit is built on the idea that the architectural drawings become as paintings and sculptures rather than just as end products for buildings, and following London and New York architectural drawings sold as paintings. The main theme of the poster centred around an arch, and a pendant hanging in the centre of the arch ( from a drawing by David MacAuley), screenprinting by Colin Johnstone.
