A couple shots from King's College at Cambridge.



We visited Stroud this week. For our Economics of Reuse class we are to plan for a new use for an existing goods shed by the station, designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in the mid-nineteenth century. Our use should have a greater impact and help revitalize the town in some way.
We learned about the nearby canal and they system of the Cotswalds Canals and how they fell into disrepair. The watercolor image imagines how they might be revitalized to bring new interest to the towns along them, like Stroud. Our professor showed us around the town and included an adaptively reused cluster of warehouses closer to the center of town. They how house artist studio and exhibition space.

We have a big paper due next week so I spent my first full day in the library (the RIBA). But we treated ourselves afterwords by going to Benito's Hat! Our favorite little Mexican restaurant... good cheap tacos.

Tomorrow I'm going over to Dave's house to check out his house and neighborhood and meet some of his friends!
