The Touchstones Redeye exhibition theme offered Ian the opportunity to investigate and depict the urban environment of Rochdale, specifically the College Bank flats: 'Seven Sisters'. Completed in 1966, these flats were the key to regeneration, and acted as a symbol of progress with the aim of attracting people to Rochdale.
They also provided a solution to the complex issues of town planning and housing design facing architects at the time, and addressed issues such as equality of access, spatial provision and community building.
