About this blog
The Transient Building was built as a temporary structure during the Second World War, yet it is somehow still here today. This is probably owing to it being constructed from asbestos, making it too costly to knock down, so on it struggles in perpetual maintenance.
This blog covers many different projects and groups all with the common theme of endangered languages and culture. Please see the links on the sidebar for more information.
