Commissioned by the Southbank Centre for its summer Festival of Love, the Temple of Agape boldly professes love in neon flare! The temple, designed by Morag Myerscough and Luke Morgan, is a sculptural collection of large hand-painted signs professing words of love. In the spirit of the event the typographic wonderland provides a place for reflection and joy. “The Temple stands proud like a peacock with its giant Martin Luther King quote, expressing the power of love to the world,” say Myerscough and Morgan. “Inside its heart is calm and dappled with light for contemplating complex emotions, a place that can transform with Love expressed within.”
