Okay.

So, today is the 23rd of August, 2012, we're interviewing Ian Charlton, and the people who are interviewing you are Andrew Wilson, Robert Riddel, and Janina Gosseye. Just to have it on tape. Welcome.

Okay. So Ian, I guess we wanted to talk to you a little bit about your Education here in Queensland. We're trying to build up a repository of information about people's experiences in architectural education and I guess to ask you to remember teachers that were influential, and maybe ideas that you were thinking about at the time.

We have had previous discussions about your experiences working at Hayes & Scott, and obviously you went on to have a career subsequent to that, particularly in the practise Curro, Nutter and Charlton, which you were a principal of. So I guess we were aiming to cover that kind of broad scope of time. I guess it makes sense that we might start with your education, what you remember of it, and who taught you and perhaps what was memorable experiences you had when when you studied architecture.

That's a big thing. Actually there is a questionnaire. (Okay, yeah) I have answered that. (Oh wow, fantastic, thank you) I have two copies (So, I'll give that copy to you). I don't know if you want to fight about it. But, so, a lot of the stuff that we might want to talk about is there if you want to check back, and so on.

I'm sorry about the small type, but I ... since I've retired, I have had to learn to type. What I have put in is very small type, so I pressed the button to big run and lines all jumped because the lines were too big and I thought no, I wouldn't worry.

It is perfect.
