Designing a retreat from the world with Rob Brown

In this episode of our Architecture Series – From Lego to Skyscrapers, Vince speaks to the co-founder of Casey Brown Architecture, Rob Brown.   They are behind the award-winning project 'Permanent Camping' – a sustainable retreat surrounded by Australian bush. Described as a flower that blossoms with the sun – it’s a shelter-like structure chiselled back to the essentials; a place for respite, reconnecting with nature and a return to simple living.   But for all its simplicity, it’s anything but simple. Vince and Rob explore the importance of this wild landmark project for our ever-busy lives, how design can redefine the relationship between humans and nature, and why minimalism can transform the way we live.   http://www.caseybrown.com.au/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
