Originally commissioned by the RIBA, a piece on what might or might not constitute architectural research. Big in Spain.

My contribution to the collection of fantastic photographs by Lisa Barnard of the former Tory Party Headquarters. The book, Chateau Despair, is an extraordinary document of the tawdry environment that Margaret Thatcher and her cohorts conducted their business in.
