WRITING
Up until the early part of the 20th century much had been written about the Country Home. Yet, this discourse couldn’t have been more distant from the realities of the rural communities and landscapes they inhabited. Little over the past century has been written from the design community about exemplary design projects and key issues facing rural communities. RFC looks to shine a light on both and welcome content from those trying to do the same.
