		+	== INTRODUCTION ==
		+
		+	The first thing is the title: 'The shadow institution'.
		+
		+	This term was introduced by Norman Fellows in an exchange with [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Cedric_Price Cedric Price] on 14 December 1978:—
		+
		+	* NF: "I think it's already here."
		+	* CP: "What is?"
		+	* NF: "[https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/The_shadow_institution The shadow institution]."
		+	* CP: [Non-verbal response signifying agreement].
		+	* (Meeting notes). [1]
		+
		+	Norman Fellows' thinking was based on:—
		+
		+	# a study of Cedric Price's early work published in Architectural Design from October 1966 to January 1972 inclusive; [2]
		+	# a study of books listed on the [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/The_shadow_institution#APPENDIX_A_-_AA_GRADUATE_SCHOOL_SOCIAL_INSTITUTIONS_BIBLIOGRAPHY_1978 AA Graduate School's Social Institutions Bibliography 1978]. ( [3]
		+
		+	However, the term was not found in either of these sources. Clickable links to these references are provided in Appendices A and B.

		+	• Annotated Cedric Price Bibliography dated 9 April 1976 (left) and the [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/The_shadow_institution#APPENDIX_A_-_AA_GRADUATE_SCHOOL_SOCIAL_INSTITUTIONS_BIBLIOGRAPHY_1978 AA Graduate School Social Institutions Bibliography 1978] (placeholder right).
		+
		+	Thus the purpose of this article is:—
		+
		+	* to make a fuller exchange.
		+
		+	== NEXT BIT? ==
		+
		+	The Potteries Thinkbelt (see works II)
		+
		+	Nor is it found today (5 November 2024) when entered as a search term on the internet - see Appendix B.
		+
		+	The study included a collection of schemes by Cedric Price and the books recommended by the AA Graduate School. The conclusion was:—
		+
		+	* ... that the shadow institution is an alternative to an institution. [3]
		+
		+	From October 1966 to January 1972 Architectural Design (AD) had been publishing articles by Cedric Price as indicated his bibliography above. However, there was an obvious omission from the bibliography, namely:—
		+
		+	* 'Potteries Thinkbelt' published in Architectural Design in October 1966.
		+
		+	Norman Fellows' collection of the aforementioned articles published in AD had begun in August 1967 with a copy of the Potteries Thinkbelt issue and was completed by June 1975. A ... result of reading this material were the first iterations..., namely:—
		+
		+	* 'Domestikit'.
		+
		+	On 10 January 1978 Norman Fellows and Cedric Price had their first meeting at 38 Alfred Place in London. The main purposes were to discuss Cedric Price's articles in AD and to critique Domestikit - a sibling of "Son of Thinkbelt" (see Housing Research by Cedric Price). At the end of the meeting Cedric Price gave Norman Fellows a copy of the AA Bibliography.
		+
		+	From January 1978 to November 1978 Norman Fellows worked his way through the AA Bibliography before sending ... to Cedric Price. This led to a second meeting initiated by Cedric Price. This second meeting took place in Royston Landau's office at the AA Graduate School in London. The main purposes were to discuss Norman Fellows' ongoing research into social institutions. The meeting was concluded with the exchange quoted above. [4]
		+
		+	Thus ...
		+
		+	* ... the Potteries Thinkbelt was the shadow institution referred to by Norman Fellows.
