Benefits of incorporating sustainable design: Bryden Wood’s Head of Sustainability teaches Manchester School of Architecture (MArch) students

Plus, I just love a good quote or 20, don’t you?

The grass is cut back here, but no one has bothered to trim the weed away this year.. A giant spiderweb over one of the barn’s window openings, with the sunlight streaming through..The cornfields are full and tall enough to touch the sky..

The barn.. They’ve been spending all week tilling (is that what you call it?)the field across the street, now that the wheat is all harvested.Last night it seemed like they were finally done their big job..

These fields are endless and they’re my favorite place to watch the sunset, although last night I was out a bit early to catch it..Some kind of root vegetable is growing here but what, I don’t know.

Harvest time is coming soon!.

There are some random stalks of corn growing in the soy field and the farmer has sprayed them to try to get rid of them before it’s time to harvest the soy.We were being ambitious this year and decided to do 3 nights.

They had this whole camping thing figured out..But.. Their kids had matted hair and sweaters with dirt on them that they wore for three days anyway.

They sometimes ate less-than-balanced meals for dinner.They woke up with sand in their teeth.
