No need for Catch Up

It is very 'Ballardian'.

If you say so 

Glad I’m not the only one who didn’t have a clue 

J. G. Ballard, a writer who influenced the music of a couple of my favourite artists. In terms of one artist, concrete was an ever present theme. His works have been turned into films which you may have heard of two being Crash and the more recent High Rise.

Acclaimed writer JG Ballard derived inspiration from aspects of the built environment that architectural convention and critics tend to overlook. His novels offer many insights into the flaws and consequences of the shopping centres, car parks, hotels, office towers and housing projects that make up so much of contemporary architectural endeavour. This forum traces several themes in Ballard’s literary analysis of the contemporary built environment, including the concept of spectacle and role of the media in contemporary society, and how “invisible literatures” such as scientific journals, technical manuals, pornography, advertising copy can be seen as a literary counterpart to pop art and the “brutalist” aesthetic of modernity.

Three longer papers are followed by a series of brief but powerful commentaries which each open up particular insights into Ballard’s work, and together explore how Ballard’s perceptions may challenge and inform contemporary architecture.

Hope that explains my comment. 

Yes , I could live in that

But could you use that bathroom, open to the elements? 

I’d be thinking about all the snakes and creepy crawlies outside, and keeping the doors and windows shut.

That's a good idea, get yourself down to the level of all the snakes and rats and other assorted nasties.
