38. Rethinking 'Vernacular' with Elizabeth Golden

"All of those natural materials - stone, wood - we've always seen ourselves in them, in some way." Today we engage in a broad-ranging discussion on the contemporary and future applications of what are considered to be vernacular or traditional materials with architect and professor Elizabeth Golden. Besides their structural, economic and political entanglements, our conversation also veers towards the spiritual and intangible ramifications of working with non-modernist materials.   www.architecturetalk.org
