Important message from Chris here. The long straw supply in East Anglia is under threat. Those of us that own thatch need to start making some noise.

A dramatic pose, for a dramatic building. Hugely enjoyed showing the @CSCA_Cambridge summer school round Oxford today. Keble the highlight. Brilliant students, open to the gothic and, indeed, modernism, as well as the classical.

A fabulous architect, and a wonderful person. Antoine was bemused by my lack of interest in the British motorcycle industry, but he was a key presence during my time in ABQ and it was a privilege to watch such a prestigious architect talk to and encourage students on equal terms.
