JOURNAL

Thinking through architecture, place and wellbeing.

A collection of observations, questions and research that sit behind the work. Architecture is not only about how a building looks. It shapes how people move, pause, connect, retreat and experience everyday life. The Journal records the thinking behind the projects — from first observations of a place to questions about wellbeing, material, light, landscape and the people who inhabit a building.
