HIGH-RISE

Here is my new edition......HIGH-RISE.

The images were photographed during a walk around a residential area near the Barbican in central London. I had these images for a few years and pondered their usability for a book.
Recently with the terrible events surrounding the affordability and availability of homes in London - to just look around the city and everywhere there are high rise buildings rising out up into the skies, I researched the theories of architects regarding these buildings in conjunction with current news columnists and academic writers.

This will be available at the Small Publishers Fair - Conway Hall, near Holborn tube station, 6th and 7th November

There's mine....the teal paper with a golden grid....

Working on my new book ....

regarding Urban Architecture

will document this on my other blog

It has taken longer than I thought - but here is my web site updated 

with lots of images and information.

It will continue to have some new bits and pieces - 

but for now this is it. 

The process of letting go of the last version was rather painful emotionally. It is like letting go of something that you have made and had for a long time.

 I had to compromise to create something better. Change is good!

Last Friday was the final session of 5 at Morely College......As per usual I never know where my students will take the fibres.....I set them on a path and help them individually - along the way we sit together and discuss our progress - learning from each other....
