kew gardens visit

this was the focus week visit to kew gardens.i havnt been to kew gardens since primary school and the thing that reall stood out for me was the treetop walkway. as an idea it is great to get up to canopy level and enjoy being amongst the trees and it provides gret views over kew. aestheticlly the design is very sensitive to the area, particularly the steel support structures which are shaped like, and have rusted to the colour of the trees that they stand amongst.

we were also able to meet one of the managers for the composting that takes place on site, and this was very interesdting and beneficial to out management module.

old school play

one of my housemates brought his old box of lego from back home, which provided a chance for some nostalgic play.a vast proportion of my play as a child was with lego, and its appeal does not seem to dissipate with age.

primrose hill

this is a poor photograph taken from the top of primrose hill, north london. it is a great vantage point over the whole of the city and helps grasp the scale of the city, which is hard to do at ground level.

wey and arun trip

birmingham

was only in birmingham for a few hours, but saw the selfridges building. cant decide whether i like it or not. it reminds me of those executive toys which are made of pins in which forms are created as an imprint...that might be a good thing?

took this photo of fairfield in fog on the way to work. the photo allows you to see further into the distance than my eyes actually could at the time
