I listened to a man this week. He told me a story of stories. He said, if he had a book, an autobiography and he asked the writer the story of that book, they would tell him a story of […]
I think I’m to have a bit of a moan about money in this blog. I’m sure that it’s quite a blogged about subject especially the lack of it but that’s not the main reason for this though, it’s the […]
The studio now has running water and great facilities for washing buckets etc. This week sees the studio used for Design & Build, 2 workshops run by UCA architecture students on the graduate diploma course. The first workshop was on […]
