Ghost 11

June 13 - 27th, 2009 I will be joining a select group of other 'ghostees' for the Mackay-Lyons Sweetapple annual Ghost Architectural Labratory. During these two weeks, we will work along Brian Mackay-Lyons, Talbot Sweetapple and some top notch master craftsman to design and build a pavillion following the material cultural traditions of Nova Scotia. It is an opportunity to learn some of the time honoured stick framing traditions of vernacular Atlantic Canadian architecture.

I'm using this opporunity largely for my thesis development, though I'm not quite sure how it will work it's way in yet beyond research into the material culture of Atlantic Canada at this point. None the less, I know it will have a profound effect on my thesis outcome.

I will be sure to post full documentation of my time at GHOST later!
