sit down man, you're a bloody tragedy

I bought a book today.

The author, Owen Hatherley, maintains a blog (link) which I was first directed to in my Final Year as an undergraduate. I'm not going to pretend I've read every post, but some of his insights into brutalist and modernist architecture did impact my perception of these often disregarded buildings.

I have a fascination with the high-rise, so much so, my Degree Show piece focussed on the ill-fated Queen Elizabeth Square. More information can be found at qeiis.co.uk.

I'm not going to ramble on about QEIIS, (there's plenty of time to ramble later), I just wanted to keep up my one-post-a-day quota.
