Bath Daily Photo

Happy New Year!

I graduated in early December. I’ve been away from Bath for a year and a half but have returned variously. It was great to come back for graduation and meet with some classmates and go through the very elaborate ceremony. Bath Uni kindly posted these photos on their website but I’ll return with my own shortly.

After a prolonged dissertation submission, I finally finished my long-winded titled work: “A Sympathetic Planning Hierarchy for Redundant Churches: A Comparison of Continued Use and Adaptive Reuse in Denmark, England, and The United States of America” (2008).

The ceremony was great and I won the Oculus Prize for overall best coursework and dissertation, presented by Peter Norris, chairman of Oculus Building Consultancy, and the RIBA-SW Prize to boot! (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors-Southwest Region Prize). Both came as a surprise and I am very fortunate for the opportunity.

A good old display from last year. This year they changed it all up — great way to keep Milsom Street interesting!
