Social Housing

Spot-light on Ernie Kump - Good Architect of Grosvenor Gdns

Ernie's situation - population expanding faster than traditional building techniques could cope with

Ernies solution - a mass produced 'pod' based assembly; designed for each situation

'Social Housing' is a major concern of mine; the 'Big Issue', indeed, but traditional approaches to this situation need to be re-examined in the light of massively changed situations, and I hope that we may be able to play a part in stimulating this process

Industrial Democracy is less than enthralling, apparently; screaming and shouting in the street is far more appealing, though less than popular amonst the population as a whole.

Any form of intellectual effort seems to be held in contempt; as a conceptual framework is a prerequisite for any effective practical 'work', the workers prove themselves to be our own worst enemies

In an attempt to remedy this situation I am hoping to stimulate a discussion involving, among others, the following texts;-

(more English interests)

George Orwell - 'The Lion and the Unicorn'

Walter Bagehot - 'The English Constitution'

(general)

Kate Millet - 'Sexual Politics'

Martin Luther on the Athanasian Creed (the essence of the Reformation)

Friedrich Neitzche on Luther's translation of the Bible

Friedrich von Spee SJ - 'Cautio Criminalis' (finally brought the European witch panic to an end)
