As well as the architectural world, the artistic perspective, the grand designers and the media moguls you cannot fail to include in discussion or debate the impact the  musical genius and the imaginative  visionary of the late great  David Bowie.

In the two months since his passing his loss has generated a global appreciation and respect from those in creative fields. The tributes have continued to pour in and reflect on what an intelligent and original person the world has seen and sadly may never see the likes of again.

A 40 year career has helped the world get to know a much loved and unique individual. He made it cool to be young and smart. In recent years his four decades of lyrical gems made it to an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum. The exhibition only touched on the major contribution his life and career played in shaping culture today.

“He wasn’t any single thing. He was the great synthesizer.”

 No-one else in the history of untimely deaths has generated such a storm. Who would have thought that a shy young man in the 1960’s would go on to create Ziggy Stardust, the ultimate alter ego of David Bowie.
