ive planned a series like this for quite a while. in my privileged (pah) position in the construction industry, i am one of the few who gets to see buildings like this one, before they've been clad, or partitioned. naked concrete lends itself to a strange and austere atmosphere, and creates spaces and vistas which will never be seen again, once the rooms are built and it's made watertight. that's what i hope will come out in these photographs. to me, this is the site i have trudged around for the past 8 months; that's the floor slab that we had all the trouble with back in october; there are the stairs that we lowered in when it was -11C. so it is with interest, a certain amount of bitterness, and the tiniest semblance of pride that i post these. Let me know what you think.

things i forgot i did




here are some things that i had completely erased from my memory. architecture, 3rd year, 2007. with hindsight i suppose i'm proud. it's only taken 4 years.
