Fort Kinnaird is a bustling retail park on the outskirts of edinburgh, just off the motorway, and you’d be forgiven for wondering why anyone would go to a bustling retail park to sketch? the answer is that Architecture interests me in whatever form it may take. And when (many years ago) I had the privilege of working in Architecture offices - on projects ranging from Church renovations and Hospitals to prisons and Universities - it was my experience that architects always care deeply about how the building they are designing; its facade and details, and how it sits in it’s context, no matter how industrial that context might be.

This particular Waterstones, where Callum spent half an hour chatting with the effervescent Graeme (if you’ve met him, you’ll know which Graeme I mean), sits in a modular framework of soft black, punctured with areas of glass - which were challenging to sketch. By drawing it I began to recognize its rhythm, and I came to find it rather beautiful.
