Way back, I studied a semester under Ralph Erskine at UofT School of Arch.. I've been to Byker Wall (Newcastle, UK), the grand-daddy of them all - I had no idea that Fremont existed. And its not that small, especially for where it is. I can't believe it never came up in that studio. Especially since we directly studied the building wall concept. And we were in Canada. And Erskine obviously knew. And so too for the other profs.. Crazy!
Regardless, it's cool to be surprised by my own country in this way.
Oh, and Ralph Erskine was crazy.
