Really enjoyed this lecture.
Using the instructions written by Isaacs in ‘How To Build Your Own Living Structures’, I have created a replica of this 50 year old design, and plan to live in it, in the centre of Glasgow, Scotland, for one year…I move in at the start of September 2010.
“The Future” means many things to different people.
