5 FESTIVAL MURAL

London-based artist and designer Yinka Ilori has won a competition organised by the London Festival of Architecture to transform a gloomy underpass in south London. His vibrant design, Happy Street, will see the dark space beneath an old railway bridge on Thessaly Road in Wandsworth clad in brightly coloured panels painted with an enamel powder that provides a low-cost, durable and reflective surface. The chosen colours reflect shades seen in sunsets over the river Thames. The mural will be installed in time for the start of the festival on 1 June. londonfestivalofarchitecture.org yinkailori.com
