Reflection on lecture
I think the one concept that I feel relates to my work is when Russell talked about Lancelot 'Capability' Brown and his work Blenheim Bridge. This specific work conveys the concept and imagery of nature taking over architecture. For my work I want there to be a lot of vegetation interacting with the architecture. I want there to be a connection between the two.
