Introductory rite

Hello & welcome!

This fieldwork blog will record my activities as I venture from Cambridge to Brisbane and attempt to develop a research project through random acts of architecture. Over the coming six months, I hope it will fill up with posts detailing my efforts to gather the raw materials for a design thesis - photographs & film, drawings & models, site analyses & precedent studies, writing & conversation, links to useful resources, and reports on the various events and build projects with which I will be involved. These materials will be compiled into a project ‘atlas’, forming the basis for both a written argument and a schematic design proposal to be carried forward into the next phase of the project.

Links to the ‘atlas’ chapters and evolving design proposals will be posted as the fieldwork progresses. To kick things off, however, I will shortly post a selection of photos and accompanying reflections from a recent visit to the United States.
