After and long and restful break we here at Animal Architecture are excited to get back into the thick of things. We hope every one’s had a safe and happy holiday. We certainly did, but we’re feeling a bit atrophied from all of the sweets and Christmas ale. So we we’re happy to announce an exciting array of upcoming posts and an expanded editorial section — Wilding — with more personal musings and out-on-a-limb postings than simple re-blogs, though those will continue as well. Cheers and Happy New Year!
