since my time here in carlisle i have been lookin round trying to find things that interest me, mainly concentrating on the architecture. i dont want to get to involved the the people at this moment. walking round i have found some interesting imagery. what i have found really fasinating is there extensive use of red brick,

looking in to the history of carlisle i came across many differnt manes for the town which also have different meanings.             

Llugyda-gwal: army by the wall.

lugu-vall-ium : forts on the water.

luell: was the name given to the town by the saxons then they added the saxon work for city (caer) which lead to the name caer-luell to the present name that is is known today. the meaning to the names i found very interesting army by the wall, the settlement was right next to hadrians at the time of the romans. forts by the water i will have to look in to more.

well im scrapping the compulsive behaviour plans for the moment.i have decided to concentrate on looking in to my new surrounds, mainly carlisle. I got the inspiration from corbusierhuas in berlin when i visited the building over the summer, it really changed my perconceptions of something and how we shouldnt judge a book by its cover, when i went to see the corbusierhaus  i thought it would just be a block of flats and a really uninteresting place to visit, but i realised it was i really a great  piece of architecture and worth while the visit. i am taking this in to account but not judging carlisle by what other people have said off it, but making up my own mind on how i see it.

the project we got over the summer is the project we will be working on for the lead up to our exhibition in january. the day we started we had to hand in a project brief out lining our intentions fo the project in the coming months, i had few ideas but settled on looking at carlisle,  we can do anything with this project there is no restrictions which is good means we can be open to anything
