Like most home page creators, I have vast ambitions for my humble site which covers or will soon cover all these areas of my interest in architecture. So if any of these interest you too, please explore the site, come back soon and even e-mail me with your comments or suggestions if the urge takes you. Currently the most complete part of the site is that dedicated to architectural toys.
|
|
The aesthetic appeal of real buildings, old and new, architect designed and vernacular. |
|
Architectural construction toys - of which I have an ever expanding collection. |
|
|
The layout of the rooms in houses and other domestic architecture, and how they relate to the lives lived in them. |
|
Model buildings ranging from doll's houses to tourist souvenirs. |
|
|
Literary and mythic images of buildings - the mysterious castle, the homely cottage, the forbidding factory. |
|
Other representations of buildings or built spaces, from stamps to Piranesi's prints of prisons to films. |
|
|
Links to some of the many wonderful and inspiring architectural sites elsewhere on the web, or at least links to links. |
|
Finally, in deference to fashion and my own ego, you can also find out a little about me. This includes a rather scary photograph. |
These pages were last updated on a wet and windy afternoon on 31st December 2006, whilst fending off a very energetic and inquisitive kitten.
