It moved me so much, it is not something that I can explain enough in words, but surely has left a mark in my life!..He was a great man , and I wish I was born a few decades earlier to have an experience of his beliefs and work!..

Amazing video!..thanks!

I've always loved Laurie Baker's buildings. The values behind them have become even more relevant with climate change, increasing populations, poverty etc. It's a shame he's not so well known in Britain because his work would be a positive influence on how we build here.
