03. Architecture
 BOW
TIED PESTS.—The Aborigines had no permanent structures and hence no architecture – the English found an Eden whose populace was innocent of good or bad architecture. The arrival of White Men inevitably spelt the end of this idyll and, ultimately, resulted in the introduction of a toxic, destructive pest : “the Bow - tied Fop” (also known as
an Architect).
FERAL HUTS.—The First Fleet brought with them no trained builders, nor materials and even fewer tools. So the first European structures were crude palm - thatched huts, with walls made of clay between timber supports. To this Modern day, a certain strain of lazy, doltish, opium - addicted white man still prefer this mode of accommodation.

POPULARITY.—Architecture only gained popularity when it was pointed out how a “hotel building” could improve the experience of rum - drinking. Which is why the corner of each city block in Felix, Ile de Marie
and Paine has a hotel sited upon it. Though once these were complete, inexplicably, public building ceased for some years.
PROHIBITION.—It would take another twenty years and two enforced Prohibitions before any of the Capitals built more architecture.
AATHOL, JAMES.—( 1803 - 1854 ) b. Eng. Deported to Ile De Marie for forgery in 1833, pardoned 1841, and worked as engineer and architect. After completing the design for the Marian Police Barracks in 1853, the Police Commissioner successfully applied to have Aathol’s pardon revoked.
