I’m sure
my homeward bound journey will allow me to begin to digest the Study Tour, as I am sure I’m still caught up in the whirlwind aftermath. Sincere thanks to all the sponsors who have contributed to creating a truly memorable experience. Thanks to Phil, Jason and Mel, and to my fellow travellers, what an extraordinary group of architects! For the moment I take with me the following experiences as most defining and dare I say it touching of the entire tour – standing on a construction platform at the top of Sagrada Familia touching the pre-cast mosaics which form the crown of each spire; to wandering past one of Le Corbusiers first social housing projects; to meeting numerous amazing architects whose passion and dedication to the art was inspirational. The Tour has captured my interest; challenged my understanding of contemporary architecture; exposed the intricacies of modern works and most of all has refreshed my passion to create and explore.
Mark.
