Recent events and the continuing climate crisis have prompted many of us to think about the way we live our lives. It's time for a change of attitude.

In this episode, Tim and Andy reflect on how this affects architectural processes. Does technology offer the answer? Or, are there other choices or parts that can make a bigger difference?

Rather than build, build, build, maybe it is time to invest in the imaginative practice that is needed to develop quality.

We often overlook our environment as we pass by.  However, it is the spaces in-between that form part of our journey that tend to be the most interesting.  The adventure of architecture is not in making one-off beautiful buildings but seeing how they relate to landscape and one another.

It is the spaces and shapes of the in-between that tantalise, the sculptural play of light from object to object, the collective coming together of design and effort.  It is the conversation between two forms that makes the architecture.  Most prevalent in the city where the history of a place is captured in a moment.

Our connection with outside seems to be entrenched in our experience of the world.  The great outdoors has a natural hold on us.  We are compelled to seek out natural light, fresh air and green from within our internal environments.

Whilst we enjoy the comfort, security and shelter of indoors it is often at odds with our nature.  Just as we are disorientated when we don’t recognise our settingit seems we do not want to forget our roots.  When internalising a space there is a need to create opportunities to remind ourselves of this connection.
