That's a Wrap!

Pushing the stop button. For now. Will have to repanel and summarise both studio projects when I get back home but I'm going to put those thoughts into cold storage; especially now that the family's here. I can sense 'Holiday' in the air; as well as the sub-10 degrees celcius temperatures that seem to be dropping day after day. Shots of Edinburgh and London in the days to come.

And a first:

Two More Weeks

the clock's ticking. hard to believe three months have flown by. t'was just yesterday when i was helping jan lug her suitcase up and down staircases and train platforms and getting used to the biting cold when i stepped out of the shower; it still bites.

to do list:
SU model of the site
X4 A2 panels for climate sensitive environmental design
X1 assignment for building simulation and analysis

+ rock-solid proposal for new masterplan of stagnant residential area in sheffield.

something's gonna give...

in other news, if you're in london, do check out the tree top walk at kew gardens by marks barfield architects. now that's how you do a tree top walk...

Home-Cooked Dinners

Turkey steaks, marinated in olive oil, parsley, pepper, satsuma and garlic, served on a bed of salad. Felicitously accompanied by swedish meatballs and boiled potatoes coated with a politefully sweet cranberry sauce.

Just thought we'd get into the spirit of the season.

What a team we make!

Now if only group work were as satisfying...
