Delighted to find this. I spent five years working with Chris to build a house in the 80s, before he did the Sussex project. It was a treat to listen to his thoughts again, in this video.
Get a feel for what seemed to be the right thing to do here Only thing one was aware of Bricks Size is phenomenally I wasn’t interested because it was traditional Those bricks had feeling and other bricks don’t It’s meant to look pretty but it doesn’t because it’s all wrong It had disappeared why you would bother to do it It doesn’t have any thing to do with anything historical If you’re going to build a wall out of this stuff that’s what you do to make sense out of it The bricks need to be a more pure color When you try to do things the right way A way that has actual feeling in it I suppose you end up in a place That either is traditional or has the real character of tradition

I'm in awe that you got to work alongside such an individual and the experience and memories gained....
Thank you Urbanology! More videos please!
Amazing! Thank you!

Only thing one was aware of
Bricks
Size is phenomenally
I wasn’t interested because it was traditional
Those bricks had feeling and other bricks don’t
It’s meant to look pretty but it doesn’t because it’s all wrong
It had disappeared why you would bother to do it
It doesn’t have any thing to do with anything historical
If you’re going to build a wall out of this stuff that’s what you do to make sense out of it
The bricks need to be a more pure color
When you try to do things the right way
A way that has actual feeling in it
I suppose you end up in a place
That either is traditional or has the real character of tradition
What this is is perfectly harmonious with the sheep and the trees and the grass
