Minister Robert Campbell - Blueprints (clip)
Interviewed by George Barrett and Kathryn Wall on October 28, 2022
Minister Robert Campbell: We did blueprints. It was easy to do the sketches first, because you could say well, this is what we got, do we want the storage room a little bit bigger? So, it gave people the opportunity to change their minds. Do you want the front and back door to be centered, or do you want it off-step? Do you want someone to be able to run straight through the house, or do you them to hesitate before they run through the house? Those types of things – to see them have those discussions about how they wanted different things to be. There was also different roofing. You had an A roof, and what you call a combination of a ranch-style house with a slope. You’d rather sketch it first so they can see what it looks like.
