ABSTRACT
Design is the architect’s core activity and architect deploy their design skills to create buildings, structures and settings that people use and enjoy. At the end of the day it is the product that we stand back and critically evaluate or admire. Professional studies in architecture, as a subject, often sits awkwardly with the core work in the design studio. The topics that comprise professional studies as a subject area have not been brought together before in one place nor been discussed and explained in this way. The monument sits surrounded by land owned by the National Trust— an organisation that cares for and protects some of our heritage. The scale and age of the housing around the church and its churchyard are very different. Architects need to remain competent and need to maintain an understanding of where safety rules and regulations come from as well as to remain knowledgeable of where they are going.
