Sobre a obra
Dr Mitch Miller is a Glasgow-based illustrator and researcher. His dialectograms are complex drawings of buildings, places and communities that combine elements of architecture, cartography, graphic art, documentary and socially engaged design. He coined the word ‘dialectogram’ to describe ‘the perspective of the drawings; made from the ground up, with the people who make the place what it is, in their own words and way of speaking’; word 'dialectogram' derives from 'dialect' and 'diagram'.
Cumbernauld is located in North Lanarkshire, north-east of Glasgow and was designated a new town in 1955 under the New Towns Act of 1946. In June 2023 it was purchased by North Lanarkshire Council with Government Levelling Up funding and is due to be demolished between 2031-33 to be replaced with a new ‘town hub’ as part of a multi-million-pound regeneration project.

For this work, Miller began by drawing a floor plan then filled this ‘shell’ with the furniture, objects, people and stories that occupy it. Through this graphic art form, he illustrates the social architecture of a place, bringing its history and human stories to life.
