I Don't Want Anything That I Buy

I Cannot Look At Modern Buildings Without Thinking Of Historical Ones.

I Don't Look At What People Do With Their Homes In Terms Of Money, But The Social And Personal Value Of What They're Trying To Do And Achieve.

Every Decently-made Object, From A House To A Lamp Post To A Bridge, Spoon Or Egg Cup, Is Not Just A Piece Of 'stuff' But A Physical Embodiment Of Human Energy, Testimony To The Magical Ability Of Our Species To Take Raw Materials And Turn Them Into Things Of Use, Value And Beauty.

Sustainability Is Now A Big Baggy Sack In Which People Throw All Kinds Of Old Ideas, Hot Air And Dodgy Activities In Order To Be Able To Greenwash Their Products And Feel Good.

I'm Terribly Fastidious. I Like Symmetry And Neatness, But My House Is As Chaotic As Any Other Family's.
