Was perhaps a tad obsessive as a kid
As an end of year project in year 5 (so I was about 10), our teacher set us a project about Great Britain. What about Great Britain? Well, anything! You could do any project you liked, so long as it was Great Britain themed. Needless to say, by the time it come to hand these projects in, there were quite a lot of 'Famous Monuments of Great Britain' and 'Famous People of Great Britain'. My best friend was slightly more interesting and had done her project on 'Wildlife of Great Britain'. What did I do?

'Bauhaus Architecture in Great Britain'


The subtitle could have been 'or how there isn't very much of it and I've been to visit every single bit personally and have taken photos, look, see!'.

There were footnotes...

I had cases studies comparing the architecture of new building projects such as supermarkets to highlight differing attitudes towards modernism...

Which led me to conclude that Britain is essentially prosaic and backwards looking in its attitude which is reflected in architecture.


I got an A and some very odd looks

Hehheh
You just need to read about the redevelopment of the Chelsea Barracks to realise that...

I think I might love you.
And, what he said about Chelsea Barracks. Prince Charles's self-importance and own-way-getting on architecture makes me sick.

I love this
as much as I love the German goth band, "Barnsley Technical College."
