Comment: “It’s a celebration of the fish plant!”1
Oddly, as much as I was certainly tasking great measures to ensure that the work did not present its subject matter in an overtly nostalgic way, I never once thought that I might actually be creating a document celebrating the fish plant. But indeed, this is a vernacular architecture showing the ingenuity and the creativity of individuals and communities, it is something to be celebrated.
