This week, our introductory session to spring term was a short class discussion of our finalised essay questions and projects.

I have not done much on my project or essay other than an initial idea; I had not looked at or searched for any sources yet as I found it difficult finding available sources in the library that were relevant. My planning has been minimum, limited to a vague essay title and few bibliography picks, as I try to find accessible and cheap sources for my research question. I struggled a little with the lack of suggested articles or books offered within the source list, yet the week’s listed introductory reading provided a nice starting point to my research.

My research question, ‘How impactful was Roehampton’s Grove House within Georgian London compared to modern London?’, was criticised for its vagueness and limitedness. Because of this, I changed the question: ‘To what extent has the role of Roehampton’s Grove House changed under the influence of Georgian London compared to modern London?’ Within my creative project, I have only so far conceived of the idea of a small architectural handbook of Grove House, with interior and exterior.
