The Crowstep website has been revamped and extended and I have decided to take over some of it to serve as my personal web site. I could carry on tinkering with the design for ever - and it might yet change quite radically - but I wanted to get it posted as soon as possible, mainly to see how much interest there is in The Growing House and in the whole concept of a pattern book of downloadable 3D house designs. Please download the model (and the free Google SketchUp software) and let me know what you think - of the concept and of the house design itself. In the next week or so, I will post more free downloads, including a sample chapter of The Prefabricated Home (Chapter 5 - Professionalism and Pattern Books), a long article about roadside architecture that appeared in Architectural Research Quarterly, and the introduction to High Tech Architecture - something of a period piece now. I will also put some shorter articles onto the site itself for casual reading.
