“I perceive rural areas as sites that create desirable ways of living, working and producing.” – Max, rural practice program

“A central component of our work is developing qualitative narratives for building in rural areas.” – Anna, architect

“The concentration of global capital in growing, urbanised areas makes cities more expensive and less attractive — more people are seeking a simpler lifestyle in smaller communities.” – Felix, architect and cider
