A Spotter’s Guide to Human Buildings

A free, mobile-friendly guide to help you spot human buildings when you’re out and about.

A Spotter’s Guide to Human Buildings

Ever wondered just what makes a building interesting, characterful and joyful?

It’s not just a vague sensation or an indescribable feeling. There are specific things you can look for.

Designed to be downloaded and used on any mobile phone, our Spotter’s Guide helps you identify the features on the outsides of buildings which are making all the difference. Use it on your own on your daily walk; take it with you when you’re exploring a new city; or use it to kickstart a fun activity with the family.

“It’s such a simple idea done so well: give people a tool to actually look at the buildings around them and understand why some places feel alive and others don’t.”
