“An architect can only form part of a whole; he begins what others will finish, or finishes what others have begun”
Eugene Viollet-le-Duc

Reflecting on projects and realisations by the practice, including Astley Castle for the Landmark Trust, William Mann will consider the tension between care for structures and responsiveness to patterns of use.
