If buildings could be alive, they are in Lavenham, England. A medieval village with some structures dating to the 1500’s walls lean every direction imaginable except straight. Expressing history in literal ways, patterns of pargetting like three-dimensional handwriting distinguish one façade from the next. Lilting timbers long to tickle an adjacent one. Endless narratives spin out making these ancient little structures immediate connectors to centuries prior. Unfathomable lifestyles, hardships, press memories into your present.
