The Prison: As entering the prison my feelings graduated from high discomfort to relaxation. The varied structure and environment made it tricky for me to visualise who was the vulnerable side; us- the visitors, the staff, or the inmates. It was interesting to read what James quoted about some prison’s etiquette “Be straightforward, don’t make [...]

Below are some Rough immediate reactions to the spaces we saw.

Museum : – School tours, Interactive, Ready made space, In [...]

It was a great trip on Friday and, not only good to see the sites, but to get to meet people within the group and have longer conversations than just 5mins on the steps outside No. 47… In terms of the sites, each one has its merits and would hold a project well, yet personally [...]
