How do we grow and sustain the emergent design culture in Cleveland? Two effective ways that come to mind are keep doing stuff (events / competitions / built work) and educate youth about architecture in an inspiring way. The Cleveland Architecture Coloring Book aspires to fill an educational void by conveying historically good work with an appropriately playful undertone.
Please print and enjoy the collection of works that will ultimately accumulate and follow for children, unsuspecting interns and colleagues to have fun with. My hope is that an inevitable appreciation for good Cleveland architecture will inspire future and current designers to imagine and realize provocative work.
There is no need to “stay inside the lines,” just grab a box of crayons and go to town!
