Woke up at 7.20am today, left the house 8.05. Saw the 153 bus at the bus stop but somehow went up the wrong bus, had to walk back from another bus stop. Arrived at the office at 9.05am. The day jumped off to a quick start with me writing the comments to the previous days meeting, our replies to TKS comments. Did out a location of the propose tree house and added trail, and started on the table of project description. Quite a bit of work, and to think S said to have it by thursday morning. what a tyrant. This past few days has been quite a bit of project management it seems. However, this is as important as being a good designer?  Sometimes, what do you know you can outsource, and which one you can do yourself? But actually, form itself, it seems is a shaping of regulations itself. We had also a substation meeting, where the gist of what S had to say was for us/M&E to capture all the words in the actual drawing, as the consultants are not given a set of the tender documents. With this knowledge in mind, can't wait to read reyner banham book to see if the context makes more sense now. An interesting thing that came about was whether a steel element can be hot-dip galvanise and then powder coated. can la, just googled. and that not all ironmongery can be made stainless steel, some parts like the latch has no equivelent in brass or ss.



Book review:
Tried the Reyner Banham one, feels a little dated somehow.
