Farmer meets architect…
Edward: I like the house. But I need a woolshed.
Michael: For?
Edward: You know. Shearing sheep. Handling the wool. Getting the fleeces ready for collection.
Michael: How big?
Edward: A few shearers. Flocks of a hundred sheep.
Michael: Out of the weather?
Edward: Oh yes.
Michael: (producing a simple woolshed on CAD) Something like this?
Edward: Can’t you add a more style? Like you did for my house?
Michael: OK. (producing a fancier version on CAD) More like this?

Voice-over
Michael argues with his client emphasizing that the design of a grand house centers on luxury and aesthetics which contrasts with the functions of a woolshed as being driven by agricultural functions. Edward eventually accepts that low maintenance and practicalities of shearing sheep are not easily rendered into a luxurious aesthetic woolshed. He ends up with corrugated iron.
