Hi everyone. I am Stephen Drew from the Architecture Social, and I'm really lucky to be joined by Christopher Hartis here. Hi, Chris. How are you today? Hi, Stephen. I'm good. Thank you. How are you? I'm okay. It's a bit of a strange time. As we're recording this, this is the day after Boris has just said we're all going back into lockdown, but rather than us focusing about being stuck at home, like chickens in hen houses.
