I'm Rem-ready

I am mentioned in Jay Merrick's review of the RCA Architecture show in which compares a number of the projects to William Blakes poetry.

"Alex Smith's Disaster Ready Public Service Housing is Rem-ready manfesto material: buildings whose relatively familiar architectural forms are derived from the collapsed structures or detritus of terrorist attack scenes. Like many of the cultural critiques within the RCA show, Smith's project cannot quite escape the poetic shadows of Blake's satanic mills"
