"A PRINTED THING"
Architecture Project (AP) have produced a book entitled A Printed Thing to commemorate their twenty-first anniversary.
“When an architecture practice undertakes to commit itself to print, what is the result? Here is one, an architecture practice attempting to lay itself bare – open submissions, a project defined by its content. This then is the result. A ‘book’ of comment, theories, illustrations, photography, prose. An act of definition through experiment. A printed thing.”

The new brewhouse seeks to provide an environment suited to the brewing of Farsons’ renowned products.
